Described as a real driver’s car, this stunning DB6 Volante has been fitted with a manual gearbox and upgraded to ‘Vantage spec’. From the Aston’s history file, it appears that its first owner retained the car until May 1980 when he sold it to a gentleman based in Lyon, France. The third owner was also French but it seems he moved to Switzerland at some point during his ownership of the DB6. The fourth owner was also based in Switzerland, having purchased the car on the 14th January 2002. There is a further invoice from 2006 from a ‘Sammy Garage’, a restoration company based in Geneva, prior to the car being exported from Switzerland.Comes with 1 year Aston Workshop GuaranteeAccording to a copy of the original build sheet, this right-hand drive, DB6 Mk1 Volante was delivered to its first owner, Dr Frank Sondheimer of Kensington Palace Gardens, London on the 11th February 1967.
