2005 Aston Martin DB9

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, while power from the V12 was a healthy 450bhp. This provided the Aston with acceleration to 100mph from standstill in only 10 seconds, then on to a near 190mph maximum speed. Weight distribution was a perfect 50:50 thanks to the front-mid engine layout with rear mounted sequential transmission.Finished in the classic combination of Titanium Silver with Obsidian Black Leather and Walnut Veneer, this desirable 6-speed automatic DB9 has covered fewer than 50,000miles from new in the hands of just five owners with mostly Aston Martin main dealer service history as follows:11/01/05 - Pre-Delivery Inspection - Paramount Cardiff 07/03/03 - 1,008miles - Stratstone of Wilmslow11/01/06 - 7,185miles - Stratstone of Wilmslowc2007 - 9,937miles - Broughtons of Cheltenham (date can't be read beneath dealer stamp)17/02/09 - 14,410miles - HWM Aston Martin03/08/09 - 24,929miles - HWM Aston Martin05/02/10 - 34,337miles - HWM Aston Martin30/04/12 - 47,754miles - Burgess Engineering, Heathfield06/10/14 - 48,430miles - Pine Garage Ltd, HeathfieldThe bodywork and interior are in lovely order and reflect the low mileage and consistent maintenance that this car has received, however, regrettably a light bite of corrosion by the driver's door handle and at the very nose of the bonnet provide the only two blemishes worthy of mention and are not unusual . The wheels and tyres are in good order all round and the MOT is fresh as of March 2015.When you consider that this car with options may have cost more than £110,000 when new in 2005 we feel that this Aston Martin represents outstanding value in the modern classic sports car market today. In fact, we can recommend no better modern GT classic to enjoy driving.
