The Aston Martin DB9
is a highly desirable and visually appealing drop-top grand tourer.
Despite a few
amendments and upgrade, the model still carries off the classic Aston look with
much ease. The Vol ante model isn't as stiff as the Coupe, but both the
variants are a driver's delight. It turns in sharply and offers masses of grip
to grant more control while driving. Both Coupe and Vol ante of DB9 Convertible
have standard safety kit like airbags, traction and stability control as well
as new front end to meet pedestrian safety legislation.

THE CAR
The first sports car
from Aston Martin appeared in 1914. In 1939, the Aston
Martin Atom, a two door, four seater coupe was introduced, powered by a 2
litre, four cylinder, SOHC engine, with two Zenith carburettors. Production of the
Atom ended in 1944. The new sports car
was designated the Two Litre Sports, and launched at the 1948 London Motor
Show, when production would continue until the introduction of the DB2 in 1950,
at which point the car would receive the alternative name of Aston Martin DB1.
THE ASTON MARTIN SPA
CONVERTIBLE
As a result, the car
won the race outright, and was duly designated the Spa car.
After the race, this
car was rebuilt, and displayed alongside the DB1 at the 1948 London Motor Show. This concludes my Aston
Martin DB1 Sports Car Review.
