Description

The Aston Martin DBS was produced between 1967 and 1972 and represented a bold new era for Aston Martin. With its sharp, muscular design by William Towns, the DBS replaced the elegant DB6 and introduced a modern, aggressive look while retaining the brand’s signature luxury and craftsmanship. This example is one of the final cars built, being the 33rd from the last DBS (MK1 with inline six) produced. It features the legendary Tadek Marek–designed 4.0-liter straight-six engine paired with an automatic transmission.

Exterior: This Aston Martin DBS presents beautifully in Cumberland Grey, a color it received in 2020 when it underwent a full respray with all chrome trim and glass removed and carefully reinstalled. The chrome and exterior rubbers were replaced or refinished at the same time, giving the car a very clean and well-kept appearance. It sits on new tyres and benefits from a suspension refresh, including Koni shock absorbers, which improves both its stance and handling. The Aston Martin DBS design has aged exceptionally well, and in this color, it looks every bit the sophisticated GT that Aston Martin intended.

Interior: Inside, this Aston Martin DBS is trimmed in brown-beige leather that feels soft and inviting. The seats are comfortable and supportive, perfect for long-distance touring, and the large rear seats and generous boot make it more practical than many classics of its era. The headliner is in excellent condition, and the beautifully styled instruments and dashboard are a highlight of the cabin, reminding you of Aston Martin’s craftsmanship in the early 1970s.

Engine and Mechanics: Power comes from the original matching-numbers 4.0-liter straight-six engine, paired with a Borg-Warner automatic transmission. Some enthusiasts might see the automatic gearbox as a drawback, but in reality, it suits this Aston Martin DBS perfectly. These cars were always designed as refined grand tourers rather than outright sports cars, and the automatic makes it a very pleasant and relaxed car to drive. Over €27,500 has been invested in mechanical work since 2018, ensuring it’s in excellent running condition. Recent work includes:

  • Full carburettor rebuild and tuning

  • Reconditioned brake master cylinder and boosters

  • Gearbox removed, stripped, and re-sealed

  • Rebuilt steering rack and replacement steering components

  • Upgraded cooling system with a new radiator fan

  • Electronic ignition and new coil

  • New Koni shock absorbers and tyres

  • Numerous additional service and reliability upgrades

This Aston Martin DBS runs smoothly and feels well sorted, ready for long journeys or weekend drives.

History and Documentation: Built in late 1971 and delivered in early 1972, this Aston Martin DBS has a well-documented history that shows it has always been cared for. It spent many years in Australia before returning to Europe, and it comes with a large file of documentation, including service invoices, records, and a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate confirming its matching-numbers status and original specification.
