Documentation

As you would expect, the majority of the documentation relating to PUW6F over its 50 year history remains with the car.

One regret is that the original registration log-book was not returned when the DVLA registration system was updated in 1995. In hindsight I wish I had pursued this at the time. The new V5 document issued shows my father as the original owner of the car, with me as the first change of ownership in 1978. The subsequent V5C documents issued in 2005 and 2012 show exactly the same.

V5 Documents

Although the car has been MOT tested and used on the road every year since it was made, sadly I have only retained the MOT certificates going back to 1989. Clearly this was an oversight on my part, but looking back I guess at the time I never imagined I would keep the car this long and hence it was not important.

Tax Discs

I still have the original brochure that came with the car when Dad bought it in 1971. He subsequently obtained some further relevant publicity material from Aston Martin Lagonda during his many visits to the factory at this time.

Aston Martin DB6 Brochures

He also purchased Workshop and Parts manuals from the same source and these have proved absolutely invaluable over the years. The original handbook is still with the car and once again is a wealth of information. In truth there is very little that you cannot do armed only with this book. From valve timing to wiring diagrams it is all there, really all I need is a fresh pair of eyes.

Manuals and Handbooks

The original brochure, information sheet and ‘speed calculator’ that were supplied with the Halda instruments fitted to the car are also still present.

All documentation and invoices relating to the cars time at Newport Pagnell are retained. This includes everything Dad had carried out on his behalf in the early 70s and the work completed latterly under my ownership.

Aston Martin Works Sevice invoices

Most invoices for parts that have been used in the maintenance and upkeep of the car over it's life have also been kept. This includes both Aston Martin service parts and general items such as tyres and batteries etc.
