2007 Aston Martin DB9

“ A sharp suited Supercar with pure Aston DNA and British bespoke brawn. ”
The DB9 is every inch the modern Aston Martin. Beautifully built, its cutting-edge engineering and uber-modern design is wrapped around one of the best engines in the business.

Background
The Aston Martin DB9 launched in 2004 following its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show the previous year. A replacement for the much-lauded DB7, the DB9 was offered as a coupé and a convertible, the latter being known as the Volante.

The DB9 is an interesting car for a number of reasons, not least the fact that its bodyshell is a bonded-and-riveted aluminium and composite structure, which makes it twice as rigid as the DB7 while simultaneously being up to 25% lighter. (It also, of course, all but rules out the possibility of any structural corrosion, something that was the bane of many a classic Aston…)

The 5.9-litre, V12 engine delivers 450bhp and 420lb/ft of torque, significant figures that deliver both staggering performance and an intoxicating noise.

Available as both a manual and a six-speed ZF ‘Touchtronic’ automatic, the later DB9s have an unrestricted top speed of 186mph after passing 62mph in well under five seconds.

Overview
‘MX07 BKY’ has been in the seller’s care for the past five years, during which time he’s covered fewer than a thousand miles a year, something that’s helped contribute to the low odometer reading of just 37,000 miles.

Having previously enjoyed a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II followed by a Bentley Turbo R, the trajectory of his automotive hooliganism meant his next move was an Aston Martin DB9.

And what a peach he chose; fitted with the six-litre V12 engine and the automatic box, it’s finished in the suitably menacing colour scheme of black with a matching hide interior.

Freshly serviced, it runs and drives every bit as well as it looks too, something the seller enthuses about: “It’s never let me down, has given me no problems whatsoever, and has been lovely to own!” making this an Aston Martin DB9 you can buy with your head and your heart.

Estimate: £22,000 - £27,000
