It’s hard to shake the association of an Aston Martin with James Bond. Even though the first Bond car was not an Aston Martin, 1964’s Goldfinger would see the DB5 in action, creating an association that lasts to this day. The Vanquish which was released in 2001 and featured in the following year’s Die Another Day only served increase the desirability factor of the next model, the DB9 of 2004, which ran for twelve whole years before the DB11 took over. On sale here is a gorgeous drop-top 2006 Aston Martin DB9 Volante with a healthy 45,000 miles under its wheels for you to explore all your Bond driving fantasies with.
Exterior and Interior
Styled by Ian Callum, the same man behind the pen that drew the Vanquish, along with Henrik Fisker, it’s not hard to see the similarities. This 2006 Aston Martin DB9 Volante wears a cool blue paintwork with a black convertible top. Multi-spoke alloy wheels wear high-performance tires, and the twin exhausts at the rear allow the V12 to sing clearly. Whichever way you look at it, the DB9 is a clean design that still looks modern in 2022, regardless of whether it’s in coupe or convertible form. Xenon high-intensity headlamps which were cutting-edge technology at the time grant this car very good night-time lighting abilities which is useful with such a low and wide car on poorly lit country roads. The interior is also in blue which actually looks closer to a shade of aquamarine in certain lighting conditions, and there’s some contrasting wood trim on the dash and doors. Four occupants can be seated, although the rear seats are better for children or smaller adults on shorter journeys. Interestingly, you’ll find the engine start button smack dab in the middle of the center console, flanked by four buttons that control the automatic transmission. A classy analog clock sits below, as well as an integrated radio/CD player with phone capability and Linn Premium sound system. The front bucket seats are electrically adjustable, and the mirrors are heated for better visibility on cold days. The tilt and telescopic steering column hosts a three-spoke wheel with a few multifunction controls and the paddles for manual gear selection. The instrument panel is another interesting curio, as the rev counter sweeps anticlockwise.
Engine
This 2006 Aston Martin DB9 Volante packs the same engine that was offered in the Vanquish, the 5.9L (commonly called a 6.0L) AM11 V12. Power and torque figures for this soulful-sounding powerplant sit at 450hp and 420lb-ft, granting a zero-to-sixty sprint of under five seconds for this Grand Tourer that weighs almost 3,900lbs. The top speed on the Volante model was initially restricted to 165mph, while the coupe could fly all the way up to 186mph. This car also has power steering, and ventilated disc brakes on all wheels to provide ample stopping power.
The 2006 Aston Martin DB9 Volante blends elegant grand-touring design with the open-air character of a traditional British luxury convertible. Showing approximately 45,430 miles, this example is finished in Onyx Black Metallic over a striking Chancellor Red interior, creating a classic Aston Martin color combination with plenty of visual presence. A black convertible soft top, 19-inch alloy wheels, red brake calipers, navigation, Linn premium audio, and walnut cabin trim round out a specification that balances performance, luxury, and long-distance touring appeal.
The 2005 Aston Martin DB9 Coupe is one of those grand tourers that still feels special before the V12 even comes to life. Showing 40,167 miles, this example is finished in Tungsten Silver over a Black Cherry interior and pairs Aston Martin’s 5.9L naturally aspirated V12 with a 6-speed Touchtronic II automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The cabin has been given a far more bespoke character through diamond-quilted Alcantara seat inserts, an Alcantara headliner, Alcantara-wrapped dashboard and steering wheel, and Aston Martin embroidered headrests, while an aftermarket touchscreen infotainment system adds a more modern interface. Outside, aftermarket wheels and a front splitter sharpen the DB9’s otherwise elegant profile. It remains very much a classic Aston Martin GT at heart—long-hooded, V12-powered, and built around effortless high-speed touring—but with a custom presentation that gives this example its own identity.

Showing approximately 16,104 miles, this 2008 example is finished in elegant Jet Black over a Kestrel Tan leather interior with a Black convertible soft top.

The 2000 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Coupe represents one of the most elegant grand tourers of its era, combining classic Aston Martin proportions with the added performance of the V12-powered Vantage specification. Showing 28,982 miles, this example is finished in Bowland Black over a Charcoal and Light Grey Connolly leather interior and is equipped with the especially desirable 6-speed manual transmission. Factory highlights include carbon fibre veneer, a heated front windscreen, electrically controlled front seats with adjustable lumbar support, and even an umbrella holder with golf umbrella. With its hand-finished cabin, naturally aspirated V12, and manual gearbox, this DB7 Vantage offers a distinctly analog take on British grand touring.
