2010 Aston Martin DB9

VIN: SCFFDAAEXAGA12569.

In common with many vehicles from the vendor’s collection, this 2010 LHD auto Aston Martin DB9 Coupé comes with no paperwork beyond whatever photocopied documents are shown in the gallery section.

It does, however, have its specification sheet, a sales invoice and the ‘crystal’ key.

It has just 148 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.

As you would expect of a car with so few kilometres on its odometer, it is in excellent condition all round and is, effectively, a brand-new car that just happens to be 13 years old.

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.

The car’s bodywork is very good indeed, and all panels, panel gaps and shut lines are consistent and even.

There are no significant blemishes, dinks, dents or creases to speak of.

The ‘Quantum Silver’ paintwork, too, is in very good condition.

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

There is a bit of sticky residue on the boot lid where some bespoke dealership badging once resided.

No doubt this will yield if threatened with the appropriate cleaning product.

There’s a scuff and a small scratch on top of the driver’s side rear wing, and a couple of paint chips on the driver’s door.

Some paint has rubbed off on the forward edge of the passenger door and the edge of the front wing directly ahead of it.

Aside from needing a thorough professional clean, the interior is free of any meaningful blemishes of faults that we can see.

The ‘Chancellor Red’ upholstery is unmarked, uncreased and, of course, practically unused.

The seats are soft, supple, comfortable and supportive.

The door cards, roof lining, carpets and mats are all excellent and look showroom-fresh.

The very attractive light-coloured wood veneers on the centre console and door cappings are pretty much pristine and untroubled by either time or use.

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.

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 a total of 148 kms in 13 years.

Most people walk further than that every month.

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 has to be one of the best low-kilometres examples out there.

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