Upgraded sound system with Audison for Bluetooth and aux connectivity
The Appeal
Often hailed as one of the most beautiful cars of the 21st century, the DB9 presented the Aston Martin's learnings from the enormously successful V12-powered DB7 Volante. It was clear that the modern motorist had a thirst for a powerful, luxurious and comfortable tourer - so putting a big 5.9-Litre V12 into a new bonded aluminium platform was a dead cert for success.
The new DB9 - so named to avoid the V8 connotations affiliated with 'DB8' - really did feel like two steps forward, and quickly shot to stardom. Built at Aston Martin’s then-new facility at Gaydon, the car offered 450 bhp and glided like a turbine, with a beautifully appointed interior that felt subtle and classy. It was a new benchmark, and its influence is still felt in practically every tourer to hit the market since.
This example, with less than 75,000 miles on the clock, makes for quite the prospect. It's been very well cared for, with servicing every 5,000 miles keeping its thoroughbred mechanics in fine order. It comes complete with an upgraded sound system, fresh tyres and an advisory-free MOT until March 2025 - a modern classic that has everything going for it!
