Aston Martin's Q division, which specializes in custom creations tailored to customer demand, has just finished work on a DB9 Volante that's to be auctioned off during next week's Menlo Charity Horse Show.
Just for such an occasion, the DB9 has received many cool touches, including a Saddle Tan Luxmill leather interior, and a unique selection of customizations, such as authentic equestrian saddle leather rear storage and unique horse logo embroidering.
These touches are sure to appeal to one buyer next week. Once sold, $10,000 will be donated by Los Gatos Luxury Cars to the Vista Center for the Blind & Visually Impaired.
The work was commissioned though the Los Gatos Aston Martin dealership in California. The Menlo Charity Horse Show is know as one of the most prestigious equestrian events in the United State and the classic heritage of this British brand is a perfect match.
The skill of the craftsman can never be doubted, but we take some issue with Aston's idea of creating an exquisite version of a car that's been in production with the Gaydon guys since 2004. This and that Lagonda sedan revival they're doing for customers in the middle… they just don't feel like machines built to please the fans. Stuffing V12 engines into the tiny Vanquish and the awesome One-77 – those are the sorts of projects we want more of. A leather saddle inside the DB9 Volante, well that's just flogging a dead horse.
