Description
For sale is this stunning 2004 Aston Martin DB9 6.0 V12 Coupe, finished in the highly sought-after Tungsten Silver with black leather interior. This is a particularly special example, being one of the first 500 DB9s built, making it an early production car and increasingly desirable among collectors.
This DB9 represents everything that makes Aston Martin so special: a hand-built British grand tourer, a naturally aspirated 6.0-litre V12, timeless Ian Callum design and a level of elegance that has aged beautifully. It comes from the final era of truly characterful, hand-built Aston Martins, before cars became overly digital and sanitised.
The Tungsten Silver over black leather colour combination is one of the most desirable specifications for the DB9. It gives the car a refined, understated presence and is closely associated with the later DBS made famous in Casino Royale. The design still looks gorgeous today, with the long bonnet, flowing coupe roofline and unmistakable Aston Martin proportions.
The car has covered just 65,000 miles, which is ideal for a V12 Aston of this age. These engines benefit from being driven and properly used rather than left standing. It drives exceptionally well, with the V12 feeling smooth, strong and refined, exactly as a proper Aston Martin grand tourer should.
Excellent specification including cruise control, heated electric seats, air conditioning, parking sensors, red brake calipers and black leather interior. It has had only 3 previous owners, has never been smoked in and still has that unmistakable Aston Martin leather smell inside.
A lovely detail is that the car received its final inspection by Rob Poulton, adding to its provenance and character.
There are some minor age-related cosmetic marks, including light kerbing to the alloys, but these are very minor and not deep. Overall, the car presents beautifully and has clearly been well looked after.
With its early-build status, naturally aspirated V12, low production numbers, desirable colour combination and timeless design, this DB9 is not just a stunning car to own and drive, but also a very interesting modern classic. It offers huge value compared with many other hand-built V12 grand tourers and is becoming increasingly sought after by collectors.
A gorgeous, elegant and appreciating British V12 Aston Martin that looks, sounds and feels every bit as special as it should.
