Updated
2 listings make up this Aston Martin DB6 page, dated 1966; look at the individual years when building a selection for a dated location or character. Looking at the dates, 1960s have the most examples; the linked pages offer a broader period selection for background traffic and other arrivals. The entries most frequently appear in Classic, Sports car and Coupé, a useful starting point when you want to compare choices across different years, makes or visual references. The selection’s leading colours are green/silver and white; use them for an initial comparison with the scene, then take a closer look at the individual vehicles.
The Aston Martin DB6 followed the DB5 in 1965 and carried the same family look into the later 1960s, with a longer wheelbase, more rear space and a distinctive cut-off Kamm tail that improved stability at speed. Built at Newport Pagnell into the early 1970s, it is the most practical of the classic DB cars and one of the most elegant.
On screen, a DB6 conveys taste, money and discretion. It suits 1960s and early-1970s settings, country-house drama, spy stories that want an Aston without quoting the most famous film car directly, and commercials that need British luxury with real heritage. Its proportions photograph beautifully from the rear three-quarter, where the tail detail is clearest.
As with any classic Aston, owners care deeply about how the car is handled. Many prefer to drive it themselves, and low loaders suit longer driving sequences. CarSeen lists DB6s from private owners in the UK.
