Seller's comments about 1969' Aston Martin DBS

- LHD with original ZF 5-speed gearbox - "Matching-Number" - Only approx. 35 examples produced - Engine upgrade by RS Williams - Detailed complete restoration Description: The Aston Martin DBS Vantage epitomises British sportiness and stylish elegance of the late 1960s. With its Vantage-specification 4. 0-litre in-line six-cylinder engine, three twin Weber carburettors and precise ZF 5-speed manual gearbox, the Grand Tourer offers an impressive combination of performance and refinement. The striking bodywork with clear lines and the luxuriously appointed interior make the DBS one of the most sought-after collector's cars of its era. Only around 787 examples of the DBS with six-cylinder engine were built. In the particularly rare combination with left-hand drive and ZF 5-speed gearbox, only around 30-35 vehicles exist worldwide - a rare classic with substance, style and the unmistakable character of genuine British craftsmanship. About the vehicle: According to the Aston Martin Built sheet, this original DBS Vantage was delivered to its first owner in Alicante in 1969 via the Aston Martin representative Victor Palomo Monegal. The vehicle remained in Spain until 2015, when it came into the possession of a Hamburg businessman who had the car completely restored in all its components by renowned specialist companies such as Spraytech and RS Williams. Particularly noteworthy is the original left-hand drive (LHD) in conjunction with the rare, factory-fitted ZF 5-speed gearbox - a configuration that was only realised in a few vehicles and is highly valued by collectors. The original engine was upgraded to 4. 2-litre specification - an exceptional Aston Martin with a traceable history. Engine: 6-cylinder in-line engine, engine upgrade (RS Williams), approx. 360 hp - LHD with original ZF 5-speed gearbox - "Matching-Number" - 1 of just 35 built in this specification - Engine upgrade by RS Williams - Meticulously restored to a high standard Description: The Aston Martin DBS Vantage embodies the essence of British sportiness and refined elegance of the late 1960s. Powered by a 4. 0-litre inline six-cylinder engine in Vantage specification, featuring three Weber carburettors and the precise ZF 5-speed manual gearbox, this grand tourer offers an impressive combination of performance and sophistication. Its distinctive bodywork with clean, purposeful lines and a luxuriously appointed interior make the DBS one of the most sought-after collector cars of its era. A total of only around 787 DBS models with the six-cylinder engine were produced. In the particularly rare configuration featuring left-hand drive and the factory ZF 5-speed manual transmission, it is believed that just 30-35 examples were ever built - making this a true collector's piece, distinguished by substance, style, and the unmistakable character of traditional British craftsmanship. About this car: According to the accompanying Aston Martin build sheet, this original DBS Vantage was delivered in 1969 via the Aston Martin agent Victor Palomo Monegal to its first owner in Alicante, Spain. The car remained in Spain until 2015, when it was acquired by a Hamburg-based collector. It subsequently underwent a full restoration-covering all mechanical and cosmetic aspects-carried out by renowned specialists including Spraytech and RS Williams. Of particular note is the original LHD layout in combination with the rare, factory-installed ZF 5-speed manual gearbox-a configuration realised in only a handful of cars and highly prized among collectors. The original engine was professionally uprated to 4. 2-litre specification, resulting in an outstanding Aston Martin with well-documented provenance and exceptional presence. Engine: Inline 6-cylinder, upgraded by RS Williams, approx. 360 hp
