2011 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. 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 2011 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 two keys, including the ‘crystal’ one.

It has just 112 kms on its odometer.

The car starts and runs but, as we haven’t driven it, our appraisal of it is entirely based on its cosmetic appearance.

We believe it was bought new for the vendor’s collection of static display vehicles in 2011.

Unsurprisingly, for a car that’s barely warmed up its engine or taken the shine off its tyres, it is in exceptional condition.

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

The ‘Onyx Black’ paintwork, too, is in very good condition and has retained plenty of shine and lustre over the course of its notably pampered and sedate life.

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

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

There’s a scratch on top of the driver’s-side rear wing, and some light swirly scratches on the bonnet and boot.

We noticed that a screw is fully embedded in the driver’s-side rear tyre.

Aside from needing a decent clean, the interior is free of any faults of note that we can see.

The ‘Magnolia’ upholstery is in the kind of condition you’d expect to find in a vehicle that’s covered so few kilometres – namely, it’s unmarked, uncreased and, to all intents and purposes, unused.

The seats are soft, supple, comfortable and supportive.

The ‘Obsidian Black’ trim, door cards, ‘Ivory’ headlining, ‘Sandstorm’ carpets and mats are all excellent and look showroom-fresh, if in need of being given a proper clean.

The boot is as good as the rest of it.

We can’t make any claims about the full functionality of switches, knobs, levers, toggles, buttons, dials, the 700W premium sound system or other electrics as we haven’t driven the car

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

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 112 kms in 12 years.

Clearly, averaging 9.3 kms every year hasn’t stressed or over-burdened this high-performance sports GT car too much.

Provided, of course, that the engine, electrics and mechanicals are amenable to recommissioning and as good as the rest of it, this fine Aston Martin DB9 Coupé must clearly qualify as one of the best low-kilometres examples you could hope to find.

We’re confident to offer this car for auction with an estimate of €40,000 - €60,000.
