Few cars capture the glamour and sporting character of the 1960s quite like the Aston Martin DB6, and this 1967 Aston Martin DB6 Short Chassis Volante offered by Runnymede Motor Company takes that iconic formula to another level. Completely restored and re-modelled to concours standard by a highly respected restorer, the car has been transformed to closely resemble the rare Short Chassis Volante, of which just 37 original examples were built.

The transformation included entirely new bodywork crafted by Bodylines in Olney, using original bucks to achieve the correct proportions and appearance. Finished in elegant Steel Blue, the car is complemented by a beautifully appointed Portland Grey hide interior, trimmed by Piper Trimming in Yeovil. A dark blue mohair hood and premium blue Boyriven carpeting throughout complete an exceptionally tasteful specification.

Underneath, no corners have been cut. All of the car's mechanical moving components have either been replaced with new Aston Martin parts or rebuilt to the highest standards. The engine has been uprated to 4.2 litres and has covered fewer than 1,000 miles since the rebuild, meaning it remains barely run-in. The rebuilt five-speed ZF gearbox, prepared by BPA, further enhances the driving experience.

The result is a DB6 that combines the character of one of Aston Martin's most celebrated grand tourers with the visual appeal and proportions of the highly desirable Short Chassis Volante. The quality of the reconstruction is evident throughout, with exceptional craftsmanship from the specialists involved in every stage of the project. It offers the opportunity to enjoy the look and feel of one of Aston Martin's rarest open cars without the seven-figure price tag attached to an original example.

An original Short Chassis Volante in comparable condition would today command well over £1.2 million, making this car's newly reduced £525,000 asking price particularly compelling. With the price having been reduced by £100,000 for a quick sale and inspections welcomed, this beautifully executed DB6 represents a fascinating proposition for collectors seeking something genuinely special.
