INTERIOR
Appointed in a combination of supple black leather hide and beautifully machined chrome trim, the cabin of the DBS exemplifies the level of luxury and craftsmanship synonymous with the Aston Martin name. Spanning the seats, doors and dashboard the lavish leather upholstery presents in exceptional condition, as do the complementary black carpets, which were all completely replaced during the cars extensive restoration.

Disc brakes at the front and rear were certainly a luxury in 1966 and make a noticeable difference to the handling of the DB6, as does the suspension, with independent wishbones at the front and shock absorbers at the rear which could be adjusted via a dial on the cars instrument panel.
