1967 Aston Martin

An original UK Right Hand Drive DB6 Vantage engine car converted to Short Chassis Volante specification.

DB6 conversion to Short Chassis specification by marque specialists circa 2012

Upgraded to full Vantage specification

Fully documented build / restoration

Stunning alternative to a standard DB5 / DB6

Built by a UK marque specialist and completed circa 2018 in LHD configuration to showcase their manufacturing and restoration skills for a European based collector and established client of the business.

Just 37 Short Chassis Volantes were originally built by Aston Martin during 1965 and 1966. Essentially a crossover model between the outgoing DB5 and the new model DB6. The original cars used the remaining shorter chassis from the DB5. The Short Chassis was the first model to use the ‘Volante’ name.

A complete photographic record of the car details the extent of its build and quality of workmanship to produce what could possibly be identified as a continuation car.

Supplied in Gun Metal Grey Metallic with red hide interior and black hood, the Short Chassis has an upgraded Vantage specification engine with Weber Carburetors and upgraded 5 speed manual gearbox.
