The DB9 was the star of the 2003 Frankfurt Motor show, where it was unveiled to the public for the very first time. The DB9 was powered by a third generation version of the now familiar 6. 0 litre V12, with a top speed of 186mph. It was the first of what was to become a long line of production Aston Martins to use VH architecture; Superformed parts were applied in the chassis and footwell as well as the body panels. The individual die-cast, extruded or stamped aluminium elements of the VH platform are bonded with strong adhesives and self-piercing rivets to make a lightweight but stiff backbone. Aston Martins have always made the interior of their cars to be very special places. Beautifully tailored with the finest of materials, the DB9 uses Bridge of Weir leather, aluminium and wood. A design now 20 years in production, the DB9 is very much a modern classic and one which shaped the direction of Aston-Martin for many years to come.
This wonderful low mileage example was supplied to its first owner in late 2004, specified in Oyster Silver with an Iron Ore red leather interior. In 2008 the DB9 was acquired by an Aston-Martin Senior Performance Driver, incidentally the driver coach to the two most recent James Bond actors Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig.
Always lovingly cared for, the DB9 has been serviced regularly, additionally benefiting from much attention in the last year. In order to present the car as well as possible, the paintwork has been refreshed, the headlining attended to, the air conditioning system overhauled, the boot latch and struts replaced, new headlights components fitted, and also a new battery. Recent receipts for almost £12, 000 document this work.
The DB9 is the car which put Aston Martin back on the map, and this fine example, offered with history file and a spare set of wheels, is a must for the true collector.
This classic vehicle will be coming to auction with Dore & Rees Auctions on Wednesday 4th December at Five Zeroes Supercars Ltd, Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire. For further information please contact the Motoring department.
