This 1969 Aston Martin DBS Vantage is one of the few examples of this rare model. A total of less than 1,000 DBS models were built, of which only a smaller number had the Vantage version of these. The addition "Vantage" signifies that this car was equipped with three Weber carburetors, giving the 4.0-liter six-cylinder engine an impressive output of 325 horsepower which made the DBS Vantage the first of its kind. This made the DBS Vantage a powerhouse in its time, comparable to icons such as the Lamborghini Miura and Ferrari Daytona.
Beautiful blue paint and classic details
This DBS is finished in a beautiful blue paint which is in fine condition, with a deep shine. The car combines the modern lines of the DBS series with classic elements such as knock-off wire wheels and stylish chrome work. This combination creates a timeless and elegant look. Special detail: the double fuel filler caps under the rear window, a subtle reference to the car's sporty characteristics.
Luxurious interior with original details
Interior we find a stylish cognac-colored leather interior, finished with dark blue piping. The wooden dashboard and classic gauges exude craftsmanship and refinement. The car is equipped with a time-correct radio and air conditioning, which is rare for cars of this period and provides extra comfort while driving.
Excellent performance and driving experience
Under the hood lies the powerful 4.0-liter six-cylinder, mated to a five-speed manual transmission. The DBS Vantage accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.5 seconds, with impressive intermediate sprints. This makes the DBS not only a collector's item, but also a driving machine that can handle long distances and high speeds with ease.
