***NO RESERVE***

Registration - SF05 XZE

Chassis No. - SCFAC01A05GA02904

M.O.T. - September 2025

Odometer - 53,500

Stately yet sporty, this example of Aston Martin’s DB9 coupe is presented in silver with maroon interior, and offered at no reserve. ‘SF05 XZE’ is powered by Aston Martin’s 6.0-litre V12, producing 450bhp when new, matched to a Tiptronic 2 six-speed automatic transmission, with manual override paddles. Factory fitted equipment includes alloy wheels, parking sensors, and electrically-adjustable front seats, with the 2+2 interior trimmed in maroon leather upholstery, and wood veneer centre console section.

‘SF05 XZE’ comes with an MOT until September 2025, and comes with 14 stamps in the service record book. The vendor describes the DB9 as in great condition overall, with the interior rated as in ‘below average’ condition, the electrics, paintwork, and bodywork as ‘average’, and the engine and transmission as ‘good’ for the model’s indicated 53,500 miles. They note that paint has bubbled beneath the passenger door handle, and that the headlining has sagged.. Fitted with nearly new tyres all-round, ‘SF05 XZE’ is an excellent opportunity to own an important model in Aston Martin’s history, going to auction at no reserve.

  • Offered at no reserve
  • Powered by Aston Martin’s 6.0-litre V12
  • Desirable specification for the 2+2 coupe

First shown at the 2003 Frankfurt Salon, Aston Martin’s DB9 was the successor to the firm’s long-serving DB7. It was penned by Ian Callum and Henrik Fisker, and was of all-aluminium construction. The newcomer was built around the Ford developed VH platform and powered by the 6.0-litre V12 unit previously found in the Vanquish. The first Aston to be built at the company’s Gaydon facility in Warwickshire, it was offered in both coupe and convertible guises, and was also successfully adapted for international sports car racing. Output when new was 450bhp, sufficient to power the coupe from rest to 60mph in 4.7 seconds and on to a top speed approaching 190mph, and was offered either with conventional six-speed manual gearbox or paddle-shift automatic transmission. The model remained in production until 2016, at which point it was replaced by the DB11.
