1970 Aston Martin DBS Vantage
The ultimate straight-six Aston — triple Webers, 325 bhp, and the last of the line before the V8.
The story
The Vantage was the performance flagship of the DBS range: its 4.0-litre straight-six breathed through three Weber 45DCOE carburettors to produce around 325 bhp, with a sharper, more aggressive character than the standard car.
Built in limited numbers and marking the final chapter of Aston Martin's fabled straight-six before the V8 era, this right-hand-drive manual example combines Connolly leather, real walnut and De Dion-axled poise — a collector's Aston of genuine historical significance.
