The Appeal

The Vantage Anniversary Edition marked the grand finale of the DB7 line, a model that none other than Jeremy Clarkson once described as "the most quietly perfect British shapes of the modern era." It received a bespoke specification unavailable on any other DB7: its distinctive paintwork is paired with a striking two-tone interior of Caspian blue and Arctic blue leather, grey Alcantara headlining, and parchment-faced instruments. Beneath the bonnet sits the 5.9-litre V12 mated to a five-speed automatic gearbox.

This 19,800-mile car was acquired in May 2025 from a notable private collection that housed one of every Aston Martin 'DB' model. Securely stored for four years, it was promptly recommissioned with a main dealer service and MOT, followed by further servicing and maintenance to ensure the V12 is in fine fettle. The vendor, an experienced Aston Martin owner, considers it the finest DB7 they have encountered. This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most exclusive iterations of a modern Aston Martin icon.

The vendor says:

"I have previously owned 3 DB7s in the late 90s and early 2000s. I then went on to the DB9 Coupé, Vanquish, DBS and tried a Vantage. Eventually I came full circle. I find the newer Astons of today not only too expensive, but missing that special character I remembered from my first cars. So I sought out what I consider to be the best DB7, and found what I believe to be the best example."
