In addition to Harold Radford, another independent coachbuilder also offered a shooting brake conversion for the DB6. FLM (Panelcraft) Ltd were based in the Kings Cross area of London and were experienced at converting saloons to both estate and convertible spec. The car illustrated here was commissioned by  the racing driver, Innes Ireland 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 Pearl Grey Metallic, complemented beautifully by the sumptuous deep Red Connolly Hide interior with matching Wilton carpets.

If you consider the DB5 saloon rather impractical, then the Shooting Brake by Radford may be more up your street. With the seats folded down, the car is capable of carrying your polo gear or shotguns not to mention your hunting dogs. That’s exactly why David Brown had one built for himself.
