Bye, Bye DB9 Volante

[DB9VolanteDriver]

So, my beloved DB9 Volante has gone...










To be replaced by this....



Really, really over the moon !

The blue is a lovely colour.

It will be interesting to hear your thoughts on the newer car.

Well done.

Many congratulations Steve on the new addition which is simply stunning…..

I'm delighted for you,yet a little shocked that its not green.

All the very best to you.

Gorgeous car. As a fellow Volante, and with respect to all coupe owners, when you push that little switch and the top goes away it's just magical. I will admit I like the lines of the coupes better but my income only affords me one at this time.

Surely the correct abbreviation for a Vanquish Driver is a Vanq-er?

I'll just get my coat

Actually before I do can I also add that I love the blue/tan interior

Thanks kindly, Ed.

I spent two years looking for a green Vanquish and only found two, both coupes; Appletree over gray, and BRG over chestnut. Both were nice, but I wanted a Volante (at least one Aston needs to be a drop top). The only green Volante I ever saw was a new one in AMRG at an eye-watering price.

So, got this one in my second favorite color (and my other half's favorite...good move). 2014 with 1700 miles, so as new in and out. Plus there's still factory warranty until Feb of next year. I was really torn about 6 vs 8 speed, but in the end the color combo and mileage won out over nice but not quite perfect 15MY alternatives.

I just pray that I don't see a green Volante popping up for sale in the near future!

Which blue is that?

[George29]

Nice spec, love the interior.

[cayman-black]

Wow its a beauty!

[DB9VolanteDriver]

Color is the standard Midnight Blue. Interior is Sandstorm/Baltic Blue with an Ice Mocha waterfall.

George, you didn't mention the black wheels. Getting soft in your old age are you?

Perhaps George cannot see any wheels. -

I love everything else about your new car though.

More visible with some sun...
