Highlights

The Appeal

The DB9 Volante represents one of the finest chapters in Aston Martin's modern history. Penned by Ian Callum and Henrik Fisker, its proportions remain breathtaking nearly two decades on, and the combination of a naturally aspirated 5.9-litre V12 with open-air motoring makes for one of the most intoxicating grand touring experiences money can buy. The Volante has matured into a genuinely collectable modern Aston Martin, and well-kept examples are increasingly sought after.

This 2008 example presents a compelling case. Showing 50,232 miles on the odometer, it benefits from an extensive service history with Aston Martin main dealers and specialists, and has been carefully stored with a trickle charger permanently attached, we are told - the sort of conscientious ownership that makes all the difference with cars of this calibre.
Recent mechanical attention has included replacement of the front damper unit, rear damper body and rod, and a new auxiliary drive belt, so the next custodian can enjoy the car with confidence. The vendor informs us that the Sandstorm interior presents with no notable wear, while the convertible hood operates smoothly and looks in very good order. With an MOT valid to August 2026, this DB9 Volante appears ready to be enjoyed.
