Is nobody selling them anymore? The same cars have been up for sale for quite a while.
Had one a few years ago and now I'm missing it so fancy getting another!

It's a bad time of year for selling convertibles, most people will sell in the spring/early summer because they're easier to sell and you get more money for them.

That's what the sensible people do, but as I am currently selling my TT Roadster I obviously don't include myself in that bracket biggrin

They are all probably nicely tucked-in for the winter, waiting for another "summer" to arrive for a week or two next year!

I'm sure this doesn't apply to ALL DB9 Volante owners (smile), but a few of us bought our cars at a time in our lives when we didn't really want the nastiest, edgiest, wingiest, carbon fibre-iest toy du jour. We appreciate timeless beauty and that blue-sky outlook that a convertible provides, and we are willing to give up a few cornering g's and accept a few extra pounds of weight to get that.
So I suspect that those of us who DO fit that profile may tend to hang on to our DB9 Volantes a little longer rather than chasing every hot little side skirt that comes down the road.

If it's between 53*F and 84*F and not raining the top is down.

Nope. I sold mine to get into a Ferrari but I guess I've aged considerably since :-))

Correct. I think we are allowed to hint here, but probably no more.
Try the Driving section. Roadster was mentioned, so do not even know the correct name.
