*** Interested parties should note, this vehicle was subject to a CAT C insurance loss in 12/2015 ***

Highlights

Very low mileage car of under 40,000 miles
Desirable Obsidian Black over cream leather
Impressive MOT history with only one minor advisory
Interesting project opportunity for the right buyer

The Appeal

Here is an exceptionally rare opportunity for the canny buyer: a project DB9 Volante. With its desirable Obsidian Black over cream colour scheme and low mileage of under 40,000 miles from new, it represents a great basis for investment.

The car has suffered water damage but we understand that it starts and runs as shown in the photographs. It is in very good condition inside and out, with the interior likely to respond well to a professional valet.

The MOT history supports the low mileage and with its sole advisory since 2007 indicates a very well kept car in generally good order. The last test ran to August this year.

For the buyer who recognizes the potential, this looks like an interesting opportunity.
