Our 2010 Aston Martin DBS is a standout example of one of the most desirable models in Aston Martin’s modern era. Finished in Quantum Silver—the very colour seen in Quantum of Solace—and paired with an Obsidian Black leather interior featuring Cirrus grey Alcantara seat inserts, contrasting silver stitching, and Piano Black trim, this car offers a rare and authentic nod to the cinematic DBS driven by James Bond himself.

Even more notable, this car is one of only 52 manual DBS models finished in Quantum Silver, making it exceptionally rare even within an already limited production run.

With just 20,000 miles from new and presented in excellent condition, this example hails from the 2009 model year, a key period when the DBS was still offered primarily with a 6-speed manual transmission. While manual production continued after 2009, it became increasingly rare, especially after the automatic became standard from 2011 (MY2012). Manual cars could still be ordered by special request—but in very limited numbers.

Adding to its uniqueness is the presence of the Bang & Olufsen sound system, a feature not commonly found on manual DBS models. The majority of manual examples were early builds without the B&O option, making this configuration particularly sought-after among collectors and drivers alike.

Under the bonnet lies a 5.9-litre naturally aspirated V12, producing 510 bhp and paired to the engaging 6-speed manual gearbox. It delivers the kind of analog, connected driving experience that’s become increasingly rare in the world of modern performance cars.

Inside, the 2+2 cabin is refined and driver-focused, with rare Cirrus grey Alcantara seat inserts, high-contrast Silver stitching, and Piano Black detailing. The optional Bang & Olufsen sound system provides premium audio to complement the car’s dynamic character.

This DBS represents a rare intersection of design, performance, and provenance. With its limited production manual gearbox, carefully chosen specification, and direct ties to one of the most iconic Aston Martin appearances on screen, it stands as a compelling example for collectors and enthusiasts alike. It’s a car that speaks to those who value precision, craftsmanship, and the kind of driving experience that’s becoming increasingly hard to find.
