On the hunt for a DB9 Volante

[Simpo Two]

It has to be done. The Jaguar I bought last year isn't cutting the mustard so it's time to swing myself upwards and get what I've always really wanted.

The snag is that I'd like a green one, and they're scarce. I have the usual searches set up but thought I'd post here just in case somebody is thinking of selling one or knows somebody who is. Budget to £50K, good history essential, light interior, mileage not so important.

Thanks

You're finally going for it then John! It didn't take long for you to crack!

Yes, my need/want profile suddenly hit 10 which means 'strong buy'...!

The trouble you are going to have is that green ones don't go as fast as black/grey/silver ones.

They look much nicer though!
Lol.

Even as a Tungsten owner, I do agree that green is the only other acceptable colour for a DB9!

When it comes to the Vantage then grey/silver/black would be the last thing on my mind.

Well it's not green... but I simply don;t use mine since I've had the Vanquish and could be convinced to sell her. One of the most immaculate DB9V's out there, Meticulously serviced by Trinity for 4 years. Including new body work and a full respray 2 years ago, with sokme major repairs/upgrades completed -less than a 1000 miles completed since then!

Ah yes, I spotted that - but it's LHD and in the US.

Mark, 'fraid thats not green enough

We sold this a year ago to McGurks. Might be worth a call to see if current owner would consider selling.

A little bump as no luck yet.

Good luck. Its frustrating when you know exactly what you want but the cars are so rare. Don't compromise though, or you'll be back to square one in no time.
