did Aston make a 2005 DB9 in white?

[vipernut]

Hi guys,im about to take a 2005 DB9 as px and just wondered if they had made many in white,if any at all as i cant find any other in white for that year

[outofstepuk]

I'm guessing no. Morning frost I believe came out in 07 or so. Unless it's a special order I don't think they did.

White wasn't in fashion back in 2005, so A.M. didn't offer the colour as a mainstream order choice, but it was available as a previous A.M. or other manufacturer colour (as an expensive option)
I assume you are asking if it's been resprayed, I'd contact your local friendly dealer or Aston customer serviced with the full VIN and they should be able to tell you the original manufactured colour! Best of luck

[vipernut]

Yeah I want to make sure its not been resprayed,im just waiting for the VIN number now,will keep you updated

It might be a wrap...?

ive since found out the last service stamp was in 2010,is it crucial to have a good service history with these,im guessing so

White with dodgy service history. Best of luck buddy

Stratstone have just confirmed it came out the factory as Mercury Silver..looks like its been wrapped or painted then

Have you seen a pic of the car yet? Does it have a bodykit by any chance???

[vipernut]

OK not the one I was thinking of. You need to know why it hasn't been cared for for nearly 5 years.

Max pic size is 2MB so try to reduce

Just looking at it doesn't give me a good feeling!

A shame it is still not Mercury Silver as quite a rare colour choice and I also think that changing the colour to White is very much a fashion decision but that is very much a personal choice. The lack of servicing since 2010 (if that is correct) would be of far greater concern to me and will definitely limit the number of people who would be interested in buying it.

coupled with it being an early car its probably not had the dipstick recall done
The V12 doesn't fair well when not looked after properly

[vipernut]

thanks so much for your input guys,i think I will steer clear

I saw a white DB9 at Camms Mill golf club just before Christmas. Not sure what year it was though.

is it just me or does that car just not look right? Maybe its because mine is a MY2009, maybe the photo is a little distorted, but the rear end shape looks, well, wrong

Yeah. Looks like front wheels all round + re spray/wrap + missing service history...

[vipernut]

inspected the car today,its in great shape,its been professionally resprayed at a cost of £8000,someone mustve liked white a lot
