That should be something unusual... |

DB6 Shooting Brake by FLM Panelcraft. There's also a more well-known version by Harold Radford, but these had different D-pillars and side-glass. |

A rare beast indeed one of two or three- https://astonmartins.com/car/db6-shooting-brake-by-flm/ Not entirely convinced the FLM Panelcraft DB6 was inspiration for the Allegro estate rear end styling ! -- Last edit: 2024-11-07 22:44:57 |

It made me think of what my favorite find ever on the site is and it's probably Jale finding a Ford Durango. |

I think we should (maybe on the forum) get some of the best spots ever from the site (of really cool/rare stuff in the background) all in the one set of posts. Would be a great post for a blog of some sort. There's a fair few one off's that have been in the background of random stuff. |

from jcb's link above "...These FLM cars retained the distinctive DB6 Kamm tail above the tailgate and unlike the Radford cars, had a split tailgate where the glass panel was hinged upwards, and the tail panel dropped down. Sadly, the side view of the FLM cars is spoiled by clumsy window frames and a C pillar that was obviously then copied on the 1970’s Austin Allegro Estate. The car illustrated here was commissioned by the racing driver, Innes Ireland (and later BRDC President) as his daily driver and as of November 2013, was on sale by Aston Martin Works. It is finished in its original, extremely attractive colour scheme of Versuvio Silver.... Another DB6 Shooting Brake is privately owned in France. The whereabouts of the third mystery FLM shooting brake is unknown. In addition to two or three DB6 Shooting Brakes, FML Panelcraft also built the single example of the DBS Shooting Brake..." -- Last edit: 2024-11-10 06:17:42 |

Think we covered the above in post 3 .gif ":)") Question though our car does not appear to be Versuvio Silver as was the Innes Ireland one . So who bought the other one ? -- Last edit: 2024-11-10 06:04:37 |

Some points to ponder, which suggest that there are minor hiccups in the AstonMartins.com link. Innes Ireland's car was chassis DB6/3310/R, registered YPP 798F, with period photos ![[Image: ypp20798f.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/24/ypp20798f.jpg) ![[Image: db6-3310-r-frostick.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/24/db6-3310-r-frostick.jpg) from here with details of other DB6 shooting brakes, including other FLM Panelcrafts; the first photo also appears in a 1992 DB4/5/6 book to confirm its provenance. Note it has wing mirrors, thin whitewalls and particularly a quarterlight within the window behind the door, plus it appears to be a pale silver. Colour and quarterlight match our car above which might have an F plate. No wing mirrors or thin whitewalls visible, but these are ephemeral, so we've probably got Innes Ireland's car. But while I don't doubt AstonMartins.comclaim that their pictured car after its 2013 resto is the same one, it doesn't look like its current dark "Vesuvio Silver" paint is original colour, and it's lost the quarterlight. We've identified this vehicle using the details you provided ASTON MARTIN DB6 1967 Registration number: YPP 798F Body type: Estate Colour: Grey Date of first registration: November 1967 Tax ✅ Valid / 2025-05-01 MOT ✅ Valid / 2024-11-27 The other known Panelcraft was chassis DB6/2366/L, ordered by an American also seen here, with LHD, French plates (it lived in F in the 90s) and maybe a colour-changer over the years. |
