2013 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 (9%) on top of the winning bid price. Cars less than 30 years old will pay 10% Dutch import tax plus 21% VAT on the hammer. If exporting immediately to another country, then tax/duty will only be paid in that country.

The winning bidder will pay €500 customs charge on top of the ‘hammer’ price.

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

This vehicle has been on static display in the Middle East for a number of years and the only history or paperwork available is displayed in the photo gallery. In all cases the papers shown are photocopies unless otherwise stated. We do not have the original paperwork.

Unless otherwise stated, we have not tried to start or drive the car and cannot vouch for its mechanical viability or functionality. The car is not registered anywhere.

It will require recommissioning prior to road use and is sold ‘as seen’.

As CARS Europe BV is the guarantor of all customs duties and taxes for vehicles within Dutch customs bond, the car cannot be released until full payment received.

All storage charges (€30 + local VAT per day commencing from the sixth day following the auction end) must be paid in full prior to the vehicle’s collection or onward transportation. Collection and viewings are strictly by appointment only.

Please send an email to the storage centre to ensure vehicle(s) are ready at time of collection. Photographic ID will be required at time of collection. If a third party is collecting for you, then written authorisation is required in advance from you and photographic ID of the third party is required at the time of collection.

CARS Europe BV will contact you after the balance payment is received to confirm onward transport requirements. For enquiries about import tax and shipping contact Madam Joanna Herlihy, +31 (0) 252 682 526, +44 7483 433912, joanna@carseurope.net.

In common with many vehicles from the vendor’s collection, this 2013 LHD auto Aston Martin DB9 Coupé comes with no paperwork beyond whatever specification sheets and photocopied documents are shown in the gallery section.

It comes with three keys, including the ‘crystal’.

It has just 133 kms on its odometer.

The car starts and runs but, as we haven’t driven it any distance, our appraisal of it is limited to its cosmetic appearance.

We believe it was bought new for the vendor’s collection of static display vehicles in 2013.

As you’d expect of a car that’s barely turned a wheel since it left the factory, it is more or less pristine and virtually as good as new.

The car’s bodywork is very good indeed, and all panels, panel gaps and shut lines are consistent, even and devoid of any dinks, dents, creases or scrapes that we can see.

The ‘Midnight Blue’ paintwork, too, is in very good condition and the finish really sings and sparkles when it catches the light.

The lights, lenses and wheels are also impressive, as are the badging, trim and all other exterior fixtures and fittings.

There is some removable bespoke dealership badging affixed to the rear of the car.

There are a few scratches around the rear number plate holder.

Beyond that, there are a couple of stone chips on the front valance, on the ‘nose’ of the car, and on the bodywork near the passenger-side headlamp cluster.

There are also a few barely perceptible scratches on the driver’s-side front wing.

The ‘Saraha Tan’ leather upholstery and trim is excellent, front and back, and the front seats seem to work as they should.

The seats, carpets and mats could do with a clean, but that’s all they need.

The ‘Light Tan’ headlining is untroubled by time, use or wear, as are the ‘Sahara Tan’ carpets and the distinctive and eye-catching ‘Tamo Ash’ veneers on the fascia and door cappings.

Neither front seat has a full range of movement at present. This could just be a faulty fuse or relay – we can’t be sure.

The pop-out Aston Martin pen is missing.

If we were being really fussy, we might point out that there’s one slightly indented crease on the passenger seat.

The boot is, of course, as good as the rest of it.

We can’t make any claims about the full functionality of switches, knobs, levers, toggles, buttons, dials or other electrics as we haven’t driven the car more than a couple of metres.

The clean, dry engine and engine bay look brand new, as do the car’s pristine undersides.

Unless otherwise stated, this car comes with no history or service records beyond whatever photocopied documents are shown in the gallery.

No documents shown in the gallery in any way constitute any kind of licensing or registration certification.

It must be registered in the country of your choice and you will need to contact the appropriate vehicle licensing agency for instructions on how to do this.

This car has travelled just 133 kms in 10 years.

We think we can safely say that it’s had a fairly quiet life and is keen to get out on the open road and finally doing what it was built for.

Provided, of course, that the engine, electrics and mechanicals are amenable to recommissioning and as good as the rest of it, we think this fine Aston Martin DB9 Coupé is one of the best low-kilometres examples you could realistically hope to find anywhere in the world.
