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.

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.
