1966 Aston Martin DB6 Sport Saloon LHD

This 1966 Aston Martin DB6 Sport Saloon is a well-optioned factory Left-Hand Drive example with matching numbers and an automatic transmission. Finished from the factory in Silver Birch over Dark Blue Connolly hides. It runs and drives but would likely benefit from mechanical servicing at this time. According to copies of factory build records, this DB6 was purchased new by Larry Wirth of Kingston, Jamaica in February of 1966. An art collector and patron, Wirth's collection would form one of the core pillars of the National Gallery of Jamaica's collection. But in 1966, Wirth was focused on getting his new DB6. Options included Normalair Air Conditioning engine breather system, chrome wheels, heated rear screen, Fiam horns with changeover switch, Bosch Kohn TR radio, power operated aerial, 3-ear knock offs, dual Britax three-point seatbelts, Marchal driving lights, and 12 pints of antifreeze. The Aston was delivered on February 26, 1966. It is not documented how long Wirth would retain the Aston, but factory records appear to indicate he had it through at least June of 1971. By 2006, the Aston had made it to California in the collection of David Segura in Valencia. The previous owner acquired the car in 2010 and in the past 13 years, only a handful of miles have been added, indicating that the car has been on largely static display. Following a mechanical recommissioning, this DB6 will no doubt provide ample enjoyment to the next owner.
