Colour & Presentation
Originally finished in Silver Birch with red Connolly leather, the car has since been professionally repainted in Dubonnet Rosso, now complemented by a black leather interior. This colour change is fully declared and suits the Touring-designed DB6 body exceptionally well.
The paint presents with strong depth and gloss, panel fit is good throughout, and the brightwork remains presentable. The interior retains a correct and period feel, while the engine bay and underside are clean, honest and reflective of proper care rather than cosmetic over-restoration.
