Fair comments & I agree, although wasn’t the WO Bentley designed 6cyl the earlier DB2-3 unit at under 3L capacity, which was replaced by the Tadek Marek designed engine in the DB4?
In this case I gather it is a complete re-skin of the base car, and presumably a new interior to match. It doesn’t look like the wheelbase is shortened as per the original car, so presumably it would also weigh a significant amount more – the driving feel would have to be a fair amount removed from an original car. I guess it depends on how much emphasis you place on the driving rather than the ambience.
Not to mention that finding a good 6cyl DBS will become harder if they take off, but I can see that you would like one that looks like a DB4GT-Z rather than the comparatively plain and dumpy styling of the DBS. The later O-I and Vantage versions were better looking and also performing with the V8 of course.
