Registration – RX56 UTS
Chassis No. – SCFA001A57SA07535
M.O.T. – January 2026
Odometer – 72,000
The Aston Martin DB9 was the first model to be built at the current Gaydon factory, following its launch in 2004. ‘RX56 UTS’ looks amazing thanks partly to the inspired Callum / Fisker design and partly due to it having been recently re-wrapped in 3M Fossil. ‘RX56 UTS’ has been in its current ownership for around three years with six registered keepers preceding that. With around 72,000 miles covered to date ‘RX56 UTS’ offers a solid and sensible provenance in all respects. With 14 stamps in the service book, ‘RX56 UTS’ has clearly been well cared for with not just routine maintenance well catered for. The transmission was reconditioned at 65,000 miles at a cost of £3,000, a new radiator was fitted a couple of years ago and even £500 carbon fibre wing mirror caps have been fitted. ‘RX56 UTS’ comes complete with its owners’ manuals and original toolkit as well as an advisory free MOT valid until January 2026.
Of course, the sublime DB9 is a stunning looking car anyway, but the high-quality wrap of ‘RX56 UTS’ marks it out as something special thanks to its matt look Fossil finish. This shade further accentuates the muscular curves of the DB9 and transforms the underlying dark silver livery. In this context the lightweight, five double spoked alloys look even more impressive and lend ‘RX56 UTS’ a forward leaning, “ready to pounce” demeanour. New badges were fitted with the re-wrap and titanium wheels bolts were also added at a total cost of around £1,000. Carbon fibre rear light inserts also feature to match those wing mirror caps. ‘RX56 UTS’s’ cabin is finished in sumptuous black leather with the front seats being multi-stage heated for optimum comfort. The vendor rates the bodywork and paintwork as “excellent” and the interior as “good.”
The heart and soul of ‘RX56 UTS’ lurks beneath that long, elegant bonnet, however. Although this model directly followed the DB7, the DB8 nomenclature was discounted as Aston Martin didn’t want anyone to mistakenly think this was a “mere” V8. As such ‘RX56 UTS’ features the mighty 5.9-litre V12 engine first debuted in the DB7 Vantage. Mated to a ZF, six-speed “Touchtronic” gearbox with alloy gear change paddles this combination can theoretically propel ‘RX56 UTS’ to a 180 mph top speed passing 60mph on the way in under 5 seconds. Engine, transmission and electrics are all rated as “excellent.”
In summary:
· A stunning looking example thanks to its wrapped matt Fossil finish
· Complete with a full service history as well as regular non-routine maintenance
· Offering a solid provenance in terms of mileage and owners
