2007 Aston Martin DB9

This car is offered from outside of the European Union. It has been imported under temporary admission customs bond and is therefore subject to Dutch import tax on top of the winning bid price. Cars less than 30 years old will pay 9% Dutch import tax plus 21% VAT on the hammer.

The winning bidder will receive a receipt for the final hammer value, as their proof of purchase.

This vehicle has been on static display for a number of years and the only documented history available is displayed in our photo gallery.

We have not tried to start or drive the car, and cannot vouch for its mechanical viability or functionality. It will require recommissioning prior to road use and is sold ‘as seen’.

VIN: SCFAD01AM7GA08441

Odometer: 914 kms.

In common with many vehicles from the vendor’s collection, the car comes with no history or service records.

With the proviso that we haven’t tried to start or drive this car and can therefore only comment on its cosmetic condition, we think this LHD automatic 2007 Aston Martin DB9 Coupé is an exceptional example of a superb GT car from one of the world’s most prestigious marques.

It is in showroom condition and appears to be completely authentic and original.

We know that it was bought new by the vendor in 2007. Since then, it has covered just 914 kms and spent the intervening years as part of a static display collection.

This is, in effect, a brand-new car.

This car has barely made an impression on the odometer and looks and feels like a new vehicle.

The Oyster Silver paintwork has a subtle, pale metallic purple hue to it.

Except for a tiny stone chip here and there, it is devoid of any visible flaws or damage.

The protective film on the front of the bonnet and wings is still present and intact.

The same is true of the bodywork, with no panels compromised by any indentations, bumps, nicks, scuffs or creases that we can see.

All exterior trim is good, as are the chrome, badging, lights and lenses.

The wheels seem to be good all round.

The interior looks just as exceptional as the exterior.

The colour scheme is a combination of what Aston Martin describes as ‘Cream Truffle’ upholstery, with ‘Black Cherry’ carpets, ‘Iron Ore Red’ trim, ‘Ivory’ suede headlining and ‘Bamboo’ wood veneers.

It’s all very classy, very luxurious and in very good condition.

The seats are unmarked, uncreased, comfortable, supportive and functional – both front and back.

It looks like what it is – the interior of a car that’s hardly been used or even sat in since it was purchased.

The ‘Obsidian Black’ steering wheel is immaculate, as is the gear selector, the door cards, the headlining, the carpets, the mats and all fixtures and fittings.

The radio still has protective film over the display.

We can’t make any claims about the functionality of switches, knobs, levers, toggles, buttons, dials or other electrics as we haven’t tried to start the vehicle.

The boot is in pristine condition. In it you will find DB9 manuals, a car cover and an umbrella.

Everything looks showroom fresh. There is no rust anywhere. Even road dirt is notable for its absence.

All visible exhaust, braking and suspension components are present, correct and apparently as good as new.

Everything in the engine bay is in its right and proper place and appears to be clean and dry.

The car doesn’t come with any history or service record.

Any paperwork we have is photographed and displayed in the photo gallery. We do not have anything else.

Forget the fact that it was made in 2007.

It might as well have been made last week.

It is seemingly untouched either by time or use.

Provided that the engine and mechanicals are as good as the rest of it, this car could well be the best preserved 2007 Aston Martin DB9 anywhere in the world.
