Aston Martin DB6

Aston Martin DB6 – A Credit to British Engineering

What comes to your mind when you think about James Bond? For me, it’s the vodka martini – shaken not stirred of course. The next vision that pops in is the Aston Martin – a car fit for Britain’s most elite (yet fictional) agent.  While the infamous DB5 came with a lot of special agent perks such as ejector seat, a bullet shield on the back, and oil spray, the Aston Martin DB6 is quite similar yet more down-to-earth, boasting the same strong leather smell of the elegant interior all too familiar with the DB5.

Many would agree that, alongside the E-Type Jaguar, the DB-series is an icon of British automotive engineering.
