2008 Aston Martin DBS
Six speed manual with two previous keepers – freshly serviced including a new clutch and flywheel
The Model
Introduced in 2007, the Aston Martin DBS marked a decisive shift in the marque’s modern GT lineage, replacing the Vanquish as the flagship model and ushering in a more focused interpretation of Aston Martin’s grand touring formula. Although commonly referred to as a 6.0-litre, the DBS is powered by Aston Martin’s 5.9-litre V12, a unit renowned for its character and durability. Producing 510 bhp, it combined performance with long distance refinement and quickly became one of the defining cars of the Gaydon era.
Crucially, the DBS was more than a styling exercise. Extensive use of carbon fibre, paired with carbon ceramic brakes as standard, delivered weight saving and a clear uplift in intent over the DB9 on which it was based. Offered with a six-speed manual gearbox, the DBS has since become recognised as one of the last truly analogue V12 GT cars, naturally aspirated, manual, and refreshingly free from modern drivetrain complexity.

Description
Delivered new on the 1st of July 2008 via HWM Aston Martin, the world’s oldest Aston Martin dealer, this DBS was specified in Onyx Black over Obsidian Black semi aniline leather and Cirrus Grey headliner.
Specified with the all important six-speed manual transmission, the cabin pairs the Obsidian Black hide with silver contrast stitching to the upper and lower trim, sports seats, a Cirrus Grey headlining, Warm Charcoal seatbelts, Piano Black facia trim, and personalised sill plaques, a Q-type touch from the original order.
The current owner purchased the car in June 2012, the third owner in succession to buy it through HWM, and has kept it for over fourteen years.
Servicing has been carried out by HWM Aston Martin and Aston Martin Works. Most recently, in July 2026, the car was serviced by HWM, with a new clutch and flywheel fitted in the course of a programme of work totalling close to £10,000.
Showing 20,375 miles today and accompanied by the main crystal key, spare key, emergency key, the original service book and owner’s manual, the fitted Aston Martin umbrella and warning triangle, two Aston Martin ADR fobs, an Aston Martin battery conditioner, and a comprehensive folio of documentation, this DBS is available for viewing by appointment only at our showroom just outside London.
