1996 Aston Martin DB7

Highlights


• Full Aston Martin service history
• Very low mileage
• Exceptional condition throughout
   

The Background 

Launched in 1994 the DB7 is still one of the best-looking cars on the road and was a glorious GT, equally at home driving across continents, fast country roads or driving in town.

There’s plenty of style and luxury in the DB7, a timeless design, plenty of available performance from the 335 BHP supercharged straight-six 3.2 litre engine and a nicely balanced chassis and ride.

Today good examples are becoming increasingly attractive to collectors and motoring enthusiasts for good reason.

The History

Originally supplied in January 1996 the car had two owners, with the second one taking it to Hong Kong with him when he was re-located there. 

The next owner bought the car in 2005 in Hong Kong before re-importing it to England in 2011 where it has been professionally stored and serviced with very occasional summer use.

The car comes with a large history file and has 9 Aston Martin stamps in the service book up to 27,000 and is a truly lovely example of a DB7.

It's such a good example that it was chosen to be featured in a "Collectors Edition" of a classic car specialist magazine along with a Jaguar XK.

The Paperwork

The V5c shows 3 previous keepers, and the car comes with a comprehensive service history and file, along with all the owner’s manuals and original keys.

The current MOT expires 16 November 2022.

The Interior

If you’re expecting a sumptuous interior with lots of leather and fine quality carpets and trim, you won’t be disappointed. 

The interior is finished in Parchment hide, piped in green, with matching green top dash roll, and it’s all in exceptional condition with hardly any sign of wear and tear anywhere.

The deep carpeting is in great condition as is the headlining, door cards and all the wood.

The boot area is in excellent condition too with clean, well-fitting carpets. The original tools are stowed in the under-floor area and are present and correct.

The Exterior

Finished in Chiltern Green metallic paintwork helps show this car to its very best advantage from every single angle. It’s in really nice condition with reportedly no imperfections, scratches or marks anywhere.

The alloy wheels appear to not have a mark on them and they are all wearing good tyres, 

It’s hard to fault this car on its external appearance, and it’s almost as good underneath, and in the engine bay, so if you’re looking for a car that needs some cosmetic work, this is not the car for you. 

The Mechanics

This DB7 has not had a hard life, being looked after properly throughout its life and obviously never wanted for anything. 

It’s low mileage, service history and overall condition speaks volumes and the owner reports that there are no known issues or concerns, with the car driving beautifully.

The Appeal

The Aston Martin DB7 is one of the most attractive Astons out there. Its timeless design will still look current in another 30 years, and its sumptuous and stylish interior is a great place to be.

This example is in truly exceptional condition with low mileage and a great service history, so if you’re in the market for a great Aston Martin DB7, look no further.

About Max Bids

The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.

Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.

Anti-sniping

Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.

Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.

Auto-bidding increments

  • If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
  • If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
    • Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
    • We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Bid Amount Increment
£0 to £9,999 £100.00
£10,000 to £49,999 £250.00
£50,000 to £99,999 £500.00
£100,000 + £1,000.00

Automatically outbid immediately

When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.

You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.

Matching max bids

When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.

Pre-authorisation

We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.

What are pre-bids?

A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.

Problem with your bid

Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
