I Do Like Aston Martins,
especially the DBS,
but I am not so sure about this one off, created by Aston's for a wealthy landowner, he commissioned the renowned British car company to make a special model of his favourite car so that it could allegedly accommodate his fishing tackle, He bought the then ruby vehicle in 1971 and used
it for fishing trips in the Scottish Highlands until he sold the extended
automatic car in 1975 to the latest recipient, who is now selling it at auction
after 36 years, so MOT passed just two weeks ago, it is now up for sale with just 70,000 miles on the clock,
the auction takes place in Newport Pagnell,
Buckinghamshire, on May 19, by auctioneers Bonhams with a pre-sale
estimate of £70,000, Aston Martin converted numerous DB5 and DB6
chassis into estate cars but this one is
the only DBS Estate in the world, although I am not so keen on the estate version of this DBS, but how exclusive can you get with only one factory model of it in the world?
