__NOTOC__
The 'Aston Martin DB6' was a sports car manufactured by Aston Martin from 1965 to 1970. The car had improved aerodynamics and specification over its predecessor, the DB5. Although these two cars shared the same basic look, they were very different, and DB6s are less desirable on the collector car market than the 'DB'5.
One major change from the DB5 to the DB6 was the abandonment of the ''superleggera'' construction technique for the more common body-on-frame. Triple SU carbs produced 282 hp (210 kW). A Mark II car shared many parts with the then-new DBS.
