About the DB6 Volante

The DB6 Volante (1966-1970) was the convertible variant - the first official use of the "Volante" name for Aston Martin convertibles. Around 140 built, making it rare and desirable. Values from £600k+.

Known Issues to Watch For

Engine: Tadek Marek six generally robust but specialist knowledge required. Carburettors need regular attention. Oil leaks common. Cooling system critical in summer. Transmission: ZF manual or Borg-Warner auto - both need specialist service. Electrics: Lucas components - rewiring often beneficial. Body: Superleggera construction means aluminium panels over steel frame - check for corrosion at junction points, repairs expensive. Chrome: Expensive to restore. Trim: Interior trim parts very expensive. General: These are appreciating classics requiring significant maintenance budgets. Expect £20k+ annually for proper maintenance. Specialist essential.
