Aston Martin DB6 (Mark I), Britain

The DB6 was an upgraded version of the DB5: more weight, more equipment.
Longer wheelbase gave more room in the rear seats and instant identification 
points are squared-off tail and split bumpers. Air conditioning, powered
steering and a more advanced automatic 'box were options.
As with the DB5, the DB6 enjoued a large enough power increase in common 
Vantagfe trim (now worth 325bhp breathing through triple Webers) to overcome
its extra weight. 

1755 DB6 were produced between October 1965 and November 1970. 

The above text was collected from Classic&Sportscar September 1985 issue on
the Aston Martin DB4/5/6 family.
