About This Example

2024/73 Aston Martin DB12 Volante in Magneto Bronze over Oxford Tan hides with Twill Satin Carbon Fibre Interior Trim.

Delivered new in January 2024 to its first and sole private owner, this DB12 Volante has covered just 800 miles and presents in ‘as new’ condition throughout.

This example was beautifully specified, boasting over £43,000 of optional extras, including the new-to-palette Magneto Bronze Signature Metallic paintwork, which was £4k alone. This sophisticated shade perfectly complements the Volante’s sleek and athletic design, radiating elegance while highlighting its aerodynamic contours.

The interior continues this theme of refined luxury, featuring the Inspire Comfort interior, in a light duotone scheme, not cheap either at £8k! It’s Oxford Tan with Onyx Black, and paired with mirrored stitching and 2×2 Twill Satin Carbon Fibre trim; another expensive extra at £6.5k.

This combination works in perfect harmony with the exterior, exuding a sense of understated elegance while offering a distinct and unmistakable character.

Key to the Volante’s appeal is its convertible roof, which can be opened or closed in just 14 seconds at speeds up to 31 mph. The beautifully engineered roof system ensures uncompromised sophistication and practicality whether driving open-top or fully enclosed.

Adding to the experience is the coveted, and in our opinion, ‘must have’ Bowers & Wilkins surround sound system, delivering 1,170 watts through 15 speakers, for an unparalleled audio experience. Why spend over £200k to not have the upgraded sound system? A choice strangely a lot of DB12 customers made when ordering.  

Other notable options include smoked tail lights, black-painted brake calipers, and heavy-pile floor mats.

As Aston Martin’s flagship model, the DB12 Volante is equipped with a wealth of standard features, including ventilated comfort seats, blind spot monitoring, a 360-degree camera, Apple CarPlay, wireless phone charging, and park assist.

The heated sports steering wheel and convertible wind deflector further enhance driver and passenger comfort, particularly during open-top journeys.

For full peace of mind, this Volante benefits from the balance of its optional Aston Martin’s 5-year service plan, and its manufacturer’s warranty remains valid for any incoming buyer until January 2027.

Whether you’re cruising with the roof down or embarking on a cross-continental journey, this DB12 Volante combines effortless performance, exquisite craftsmanship, and Aston Martin’s unmistakable sense of occasion.
