Is there a case for the car less travelled?
Life often takes unexpected tangents, and that is what happened to Brave Pill this week. The imminent arrival of araised the question as to whether DB11s have got enticingly cheap yet. The answer, nay saying many naysayers, was negative – with even the earliest and the leggiest cars still being well north of £70,000. So research moved onto the DB9, turning up an abundance of attractively priced examples. But also – where things took a whanging ricochet – the car you see here.
The lack of use here seems to have been intentional. The dealer selling our Pill says it was its sole owner’s second DB9. The first was traded in after three years and 2,365 miles – so that one did at least get driven. But the new car was left in a heated garage for the next 12 years, presumably being kept primarily as an objet d’art. Alternatively, it might just be that its owner possessed so many other compelling cars that the Aston never got a look-in when it came to driving.
It certainly looks good in the pictures, although strangely there are almost none of the interior beyond some close-ups of the headlight and mirror switches. The Bridgestone Potenzas are presumably original and barely worn – although definitely too old for actual use – and the brake discs look equally fresh front and rear. The vendor claims you could eat your dinner off the underside, although at the cost of needing to turn the car over. Which would probably dent the value a bit.
