The DB9 is one of the most important cars Aston Martin has ever built, combining Ian Callum’s timeless design with a bonded aluminium chassis and the iconic 5.9-litre V12. By 2010 Aston wanted to give the car extra individuality, and the Carbon Black Edition was born. Finished in Bergwerk Black, a colour that took up to 50 hours of hand finishing, and matched with unique 20in satin black diamond turned alloys, it carried a depth and presence that set it apart.This example, registered in February 2012, has covered just over 62,000 miles and comes with a full Aston Martin main dealer service history. Every stamp from new is from an official retailer, making it one of the best-documented DB9s you are likely to find.The Carbon Black Edition was more than just paint and trim. Each car came with the Premium Sports Pack with Adaptive Damping, sharpening the chassis with stiffer springs and Bilstein dampers while dropping ride height for a more purposeful stance. The system allows you to switch between Normal and Sport at the touch of a button. Coupled with the 470bhp V12, Touchtronic II automatic gearbox with paddles and a sports exhaust, it offers both refined GT cruising and thrilling performance with 0–60mph in 4.6 seconds and a soundtrack only a naturally aspirated Aston can deliver.Inside, the theme continues with Obsidian Black semi-aniline leather stitched in silver, indented sports seats with heating and memory, and an Alcantara headlining. Piano Black veneers flow across the fascia, console and door cappings, matched with glass switchgear and a DBS-style instrument pack. Carbon Black sill plaques confirm the edition, while a leather steering wheel stitched in silver sits perfectly in hand.Technology includes Aston Martin Premium Audio, Bluetooth with Alpine integration, Garmin-based satellite navigation, cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, and powerfold heated mirrors with memory. Tyre pressure monitoring, alarm upgrade with tilt and volumetric sensors, garage door opener, umbrella, warning triangle and protective film complete the detail.MOT history is clean and consistent, with the latest MOT valid until November 2025 and showing no advisories. Tyres, brakes and consumables have been attended to, and the car is freshly prepared for its next owner.This DB9 Carbon Black is special: rare, beautifully specified, mechanically strong and backed by impeccable provenance.Full Aston Martin Service History30/10/2012 – 6,160 miles – Aston Martin Mayfair (Stratstone) London W326/09/2013 – 9,853 miles – Aston Martin Nottingham29/08/2014 – 17,006 miles – Aston Martin Edinburgh25/02/2016 – 20,008 miles – Aston Martin Edinburgh24/02/2017 – 24,280 miles – Aston Martin Edinburgh23/02/2018 – 29,154 miles – Aston Martin Edinburgh14/06/2019 – 32,703 miles – Aston Martin Edinburgh05/05/2020 – 36,807 miles – Aston Martin Edinburgh20/04/2021 – 41,278 miles – Aston Martin Edinburgh07/06/2022 – 52,222 miles – Aston Martin Wilmslow (Stratstone)25/10/2023 – 56,660 miles – Aston Martin Mayfair (Stratstone) London W330/10/2024 – 61,601 miles – Aston Martin Mayfair (Stratstone) London W3Presented at £39,995, fully serviced, freshly prepared and ready to drive away, this is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the finest DB9 Carbon Black Editions available.
