Description
A rare opportunity to acquire a low mileage Aston Martin DBS V12 manual, presented in the highly desirable Toro Red metallic with Graphite Wheels. With just 20,820 miles from new, this example sits firmly within the collector grade tier and represents one of the stronger cars currently available on the market today.
The DBS remains one of Aston Martin's defining modern models widely regarded as one of the last truly analogue grand tourers. Developed from the DB9 but with a significantly sharper focus, the DBS combines increased performance, lightweight construction and a more aggressive design. With 510bhp from its naturally aspirated 6.0 litre V12 delivered through the 6-speed manual gearbox, it offers a level of driver engagement that is increasingly rare.
Finished in Toro Red, a rarely specified factory colour and optionally specified Graphite Wheels, the car presents beautifully and stands apart from the more commonly seen neutral colour combinations. The interior is trimmed in Obsidian Black leather with Alcantara inserts, complemented by red contrast stitching.
This is a 2+0 configuration example, and benefits from a full Aston Martin main dealer service history throughout the majority of its life, prior to a recent service carried out by Aston Installations.
The car has had 3 previous owners and is supplied complete with both keys, including the glass key, and the original Aston Martin indoor car cover.
It has been garage stored throughout ownership, never used in winter and remains HPI clear with no accident history, further supporting the overall quality and provenance of the example.
Condition throughout is excellent and entirely consistent with the mileage. The car drives exactly as expected of a low mileage example tight, composed and engaging, with the full character of the naturally aspirated V12.
There is now a clear distinction within the market between higher mileage "driver" cars and lower mileage, well-preserved collector-grade examples such as this. Manual DBS cars of this quality and specification are becoming increasingly difficult to source.
