1968 ASTON MARTIN BB6 VANTAGE

Aston-Martin gives its DB6 more tone in the form of this Vantage. It does not deviate from the traditions of discretion and elegance, and it is impossible to distinguish an Aston-Martin DB6 Vantage from a standard version on the outside. At the wheel, on the other hand, the revival of the inline 6 is very clear with a racier character, despite a discreet sound. The rear seats are well digested aesthetically with a line, admittedly thicker and less racy, but still as attractive and which does not neglect the practical aspects. The Aston-Martin DB6 Vantage can count on an unexpected but welcome versatility in a market segment that often favors hedonistic pleasure. The Grand Touring spirit is now a family affair. This is good news for fathers. The DB6 is much more than a simple evolution of the DB5. It remains the last link in a long lineage that started in 1958...
