Super-rare Aston Martin DBS offered at Public Tender this October

Number six of the twenty produced, this 'Works Tailored Commission' DBS was made by Aston Martin to celebrate CEO, Dr Ulrich Bez's, tenth anniversary in charge of the quintessential British marque.

The unique specification for the limited edition UB2010 DBS vehicles included metallic leather interior with a special woven leather seat insert. The seat's insert and the car itself bear the signature of Dr Bez, who personally signed off each example. Other features over and above a DBS are additional carbon fibre extras and ceramic brakes. The exterior paint colour on this DBS UB2010 is not an option when ordering a DBS but is otherwise only available on the Aston Martin ONE-77 supercar.

As offered, the UB2010 DBS is in immaculate condition, having covered just 2,000 kms since new. As desirable as all Astons are, the limited edition status of the UB2010 makes this example even more so. Sotheby's have valued the car at $450,000-$490,000.

This car, plus other classic and collectable machines, including the 'Brock Dakar Car', will be offered through Sotheby's Australia at their 'Important Collectors' Motor Cars by Public Tender' event in Sydney on October 15. All consignments will be on display at 7 Anderson Street, Double Bay NSW, between October 13-15.
