The DBS was produced between 1967 and 1972, replacing the DB6. The DBS is larger and its styling more modern than its predecessor. It has four full size seats, features a fastback style rear, squared off the front grille and the classic Aston Martin wire wheels.

The DBS has featured in both cinema and television. In 1969 it became a ‘Bond car’, driven by George Lazenby’s James Bond in ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’. And in the 1970s television series ‘The Persuaders’ Roger Moore used a yellow DBS on his adventures as playboy character Lord Brett Sinclair.
