This Aston Martin DBS is a classic 1960s grand tourer, fresh from a restoration and equipped with an involving manual gearbox as well as a ‘Vantage’ engine upgrade.
Under the bonnet now sits a naturally aspirated triple Weber fed 4.0-litre DBS straight-six, sending around 330hp to the rear wheels via a five-speed ZF manual transmission.
This example is fresh from a photo-documented restoration which returned the car to its original Jaguar Opalescent Blue colour over a handsome restored Red Connolly leather interior.
A left-hand drive export model destined for France, the car was first registered in the UK before arriving in France, Mr McCook (Frenchman) took the DBS with him to the USA in the late 1980s, and in 1993 his widow sold the car to its next owner, Marc Anderson of New York, who stored it for the next 13 years. Third owner Joshua Mazer of Annapolis, Maryland acquired the Aston in 2006 and had it restored (details on file) before selling it on to the fourth owner, Jens Ole Petersen of Herlev, Denmark in March 2007. It is now located in the Netherlands.
The car has covered 150 kilometres since the completion of the restoration in Sweden.
The odometer shows 16,148 kilometres, though this is not warranted.
The DBS was unveiled at Blenheim Palace in September 1967, with the aim of replacing the DB6. It features a ‘full width’ front grille design, as well as a De Dion rear axle.
This car is from the ‘Series 1’ batch of production, identifiable by its smaller front air dam and iconic C pillar vents. It also has the sought-after early wood panel dashboard.
The DBS was the last Aston Martin to be built under the ownership of David Brown, and his name is displayed on the front and rear Aston Martin badging.
It rides on 15-inch wire wheels with three-eared knock-offs, wrapped in Goodyear tyres.
The retrimmed Red Connolly leather cabin features a black dashboard, wood inlays, sun visors, a four-spoke Moto-Lita steering wheel, a Kienzle analogue clock, Coolaire air conditioning, a Motorola radio, power steering, and electric windows.
It is also noted to feature from factory Fiamm horns and Marchal fog and spot lamps.
It will be accompanied by documentation and photos of its recent restoration, an Aston Martin DBS workshop manual, a boot-mounted spare wire wheel, and two keys.
Specific notes from the seller include: condition of the car is really as new due to the restoration. All parts are original Aston Martin.
The latest service was carried out in 2024 at approximately 16,000 km after the car’s restoration had been completed.
