Chassis no. DB6MK24251R; Engine no. 4004590VC. Blue over tan leather. RHD, 3995/325hp, triple Webers, 5-speed, wire wheels, fog lights, woodrim steering wheel, original radio.

Evaluation: Located in Kuwait. Unknown early history. Represented as matching numbers engine. In total project condition with faded paint, crooked fog lights, a missing headlights lens, and tired brightwork with some small dents in the bumpers. Slightly dirty interior with soiled carpets, but nothing appears to be missing. It’s unclear how long the car has been in Kuwait’s desert climate, but some of the suspension and brake components are rusty. The engine bay is complete but looks like it hasn’t run in years. A desirable spec late DB6, but in need of everything.

Bottom Line: A rough car with good bones and desirable Vantage equipment, this DB6 sold at a reasonably fair price that takes its needs into account.
