Please take the time to look through all the media files for a detailed view of what’s on offer and to assess the condition of the car for yourselves.

The Aston Martin DB9 Volante is celebrated for its powerful 6.0-litre V12 engine and beautifully balanced chassis, delivering the perfect blend of performance, refinement, and open-top grand touring. The smooth automatic transmission allows the DB9 to deliver its power in an effortless and composed manner, making it equally suited to relaxed cruising or enjoying a more spirited drive. With its elegant proportions and engaging driving experience, the DB9 perfectly captures the essence of a modern Aston Martin grand tourer. Take a look at the ‘On the Road’ video, where Philip takes us for a short drive. The glass is in good condition for the car’s age - during our visit we didn’t notice any obvious cracks or discolouration. We did notice a small stone chip on the passengers side. The window seals appear good and consistent with the overall condition of the car. The door handles and window surrounds also present well. The black convertible roof presents in great condition. This example is fitted with Aston Martin 19-inch 15-spoke alloy wheels, which present in great condition. The wheels have been recently refurbished and refinished in April this year. The wheels are fitted with Bridgestone Potenza tyres, dated as follows: N/S/F 2021, N/S/R 2025, O/S/R 2019, and O/S/F 2020. They appear to be in good visual condition, with a good amount of remaining tread and no visible cracking on the sidewalls. Please take time to review the photos and videos for a detailed view of the exterior, wheels, and tyres so you can make your own assessment of their condition. Tyres are a key safety item, and you should consider replacing any that are cracked, perished, unevenly worn, or over 10 years old. The black leather seats have retained their shape well over the years, with only light creasing visible. The dashboard features black leather trim, complemented by matching carpets and dark wood door cappings. The door cards and carpets present similarly, showing a consistent level of condition throughout the interior. For a detailed view of the cabin, please take a look through the extensive media. At the heart of the DB9 Volante lies Aston Martin’s renowned 6.0-litre V12 engine, producing ~450 BHP and delivering the effortless performance expected from a true grand tourer. Paired with a smooth six-speed automatic gearbox, the engine provides seamless power delivery, exceptional refinement, and the unmistakable V12 soundtrack that Aston Martin is renowned for. Designed to cover long distances with ease while still offering impressive performance when called upon. On the day of our visit, we started the car from cold and it performed well on the road - the V12 engine delivered strong, smooth power, idled cleanly, and ran as expected.
