Selecting an Aston Martin as your next vehicle shows that you are a certain sort of person. The type that appreciates British design and sports car engineering, and most likely, a James Bond fan at heart too. This iconic British automaker has had a long association with Ian Fleming’s superspy, in film at least. In the books, Bond is a Bentley man, but when the films were being produced, Aston Martin became the selected vehicle of Mr. Bond. In fact, you can find Aston Martins in over half of the Bond films produced to date. Today’s Aston Martin of choice is a 2020 Aston Martin DB11 Volante from Fort Myers, Florida. The DB11 debuted 2016 and was made until 2023, in coupe and convertible (Volante) forms. This particular example packs a twin-turbo V8 and just under 6,100 miles on the clock.
The Aston Martin DB9: a car that was so well-designed it stayed in production for 12 years, and continues to impress over 2 decades after its launch. In 2004, it took over the DB line from the outgoing DB7. While it’s predecessor was often criticized as being a Jag XJS in a fancy dress, the DB9 was developed as a fresh car (in fact, there is some speculation that Aston Martin avoided calling it the DB8 to distinguish it even more from its predecessor). The convertible version was named the DB9 Volante and debuted in September 2004 with softer suspension than the coupe and extra reinforcement to protect the occupants in case of a rollover incident.
Historically, British sports and luxury automaker Aston Martin applied the Vantage tag to existing vehicles, usually to signify the higher-performance derivative of them. All that changed in 2005 when they decided to make Vantage a separate model. Designed by Henrik Fisker and Ian Callum, the first proper generation of the Vantage was a huge success, and the second generation continued on a lively streak. This 2012 Aston Martin Vantage V8 Roadster is a lovely first-generation example and has received a recent servicing. With its soulful V8 engine, Sportshift automated manual gearbox and just over 24,000 miles on the clock, it’s now up for grabs in The Villages, Florida. Do you like it? You definitely do!
