The Appeal


Beautiful, powerful, and positively palatial, the Aston Martin DB9 is a strong contender for one of the best coupes the legendary Gaydon factory has ever produced. It felt determined and muscular yet restrained and distinguished. It very rapidly sailed to one of the top positions in the company's repertoire, and nowadays is dead-cert on becoming a modern classic. 

This 2005 car is a great ambassador for everything that makes the DB9 such a class-defining car. Boasting a very attractive Meteorite Grey livery, this car has everything going for it - including a current MOT and an ample service history. These cars thrive on regular upkeep, and despite a few cosmetic issues, it's clear the car is in good mechanical health.
