The DB9 was the beginning of a new era for Aston Martin, a Grand Tourer car designed by Ian Callum and Henrik Fisker on the all new VH platform with an aluminium bonded chassis to promote stability and a lightweight chassis, a theme continued with aluminium and composite body panels. Mechanically the new model was home to the 5.9 litre naturally aspirated all alloy V12 engine initially designed by Aston Martin for use in Le Mans racing cars and developing a respectable 450 bhp and giving the car an acceleration of 0-60mph of just 4.9 seconds through a 6-Speed ZF auto box. Top speed was quoted at 186mph. This car is quite stunning in one of the best Aston colours, Tungsten Silver over Obsidian Black interior with contrasting Falcon Grey Stitching and Facia trim in Piano Black. This car has been lovingly looked after by us at Stratton Motor Company and supplied by us from new, so a car we have known in the family for 19 years, so a full Aston Martin Servicing History. The car also comes with a large file of invoices and paperwork including the initial sales documents and much more. A beautiful and fully maintained example of this lovely car with just two local owners, the first for 17 years.
