Another Aston Martin Shooting Break,

is coming up under the hammer,


this one a 1967 Aston Martin DB6, thought to be one of only two that have been made, Formula 1 ace Innes Ireland, who had it for two years before deciding he needed something a bit more practical for his shooting gear and golf clubs, so he sent the DB6 to London coachbuilders FLM Panelcraft and ordered them to convert it into a 'shooting brake', an early 19th century British term for a vehicle used to carry shooting parties and later applied to custom-built vehicles, the car has been hidden away in storage for 17 years, but now having been driven just 300 miles since its restoration, it is time for it to be sold,

how deep is your pocket? is the next question, to give you a guide, we featured the Aston Martin DBS above in May 2012 where it had a pre-sale estimate of £70,000, but now the big one, the 1967 Aston Martin DB6, it has an estimate of between £325,000 and £375,000, as they say Happy Bidding!
