SUMMARY

A fine example of the most elegant supercar of the modern era with full Aston Martin service history.

DESCRIPTION

  • Supplied by Stratstone Aston Martin, Western Avenue, London on the 03/07/2008
  • One of the finest car designs of the modern era with echoes in each new model launch
  • The 5.9-litre V12 propels the luxuriously appointed DB9 to 100mph in 10 seconds
  • The full Aston Martin main dealer service history shows the diligence of previous owners
  • With an odometer reading of 32,800 miles (atoc) warranted by the detailed history file
  • Presented to auction with an MOT until 06/12/ 2021 and the aforementioned book pack.

Launched at the 2003 Frankfurt Motor Show, the exceptional Aston Martin DB9 promised to be one of the most sought after 'Supercars' of the decade. Henrik Fisker's flowing design retained all the good looks of its predecessor, the highly acclaimed DB7. Weight was kept low by the use of aluminium and composites for the bodywork, whilst power from the 5.9-litre V12 was a healthy 450bhp, providing the Aston with acceleration to 100mph from a standstill in only 10 seconds, and on to a near 190mph maximum speed. Weight distribution was a perfect 50:50 thanks to the front / mid-engine layout with a rear-mounted sequential transmission.

Most DB9s were delivered with a six-speed ZF automatic gearbox featuring paddle-operated semi-automatic mode, perfect for pootling around town or continental touring. The DB9 was aimed at, like all proceeding Astons, a certain type of owner; an enthusiast who appreciated the speed and soundtrack but also the refinement and discretion. At nearly twenty years old the DB9 has aged phenomenally well, indeed the silhouette is near identical to the current models offered by Aston today. Residual values have plateaued for good examples in recent years and although buying a used supercar is a decision not to be taken lightly, buyers can be reassured by an impeccable main dealer service history.

Supplied by Stratstone Aston Martin on Western Avenue, London on the 3rd July 2008, the car was to return there for subsequent services in its early life before being looked after later by main dealers at the following intervals:

 

10/06/2008 Aston Martin Western Avenue, London at 731 miles

14/05/2009 Aston Martin Western Avenue, London at 4,453 miles

06/05/2010 Aston Martin Western Avenue, London at 6,130 miles

01/07/2011 Aston Martin Western Avenue, London at 8,115 miles

04/07/2012 Aston Martin Western Avenue, London at 12,880 miles

04/07/2013 Aston Martin Western Avenue, London at 16,701 miles

27/10/2014 Aston Martin Welwyn (Now Grange) at 20,240 miles

13/06/2016 Aston Martin Welwyn (Now Grange) at 25,148 miles

13/06/2017 Aston Martin Welwyn (Now Grange) at 27,802 miles

21/05/2018 Aston Martin Birmingham at 29,132 miles

12/06/2019 Aston Martin Wilmslow, Cheshire at 30,477 miles

16/04/2021 Aston Martin Birmingham at 32,731 miles

Offered to auction in a very agreeable condition, the black leather interior shows gentle wear and presents far better than similar mileage models we have seen with lighter coloured interiors. The well-stamped service book displays the diligence of its four former keepers. The car is ready for summer jaunts having just been serviced sixty-nine miles ago in April and the MOT is valid until December 2021. We welcome any inspection of this motorcar and we believe the service history is amongst the best of any comparable car on the market today.
