The Appeal
The DB7 was designed by Ian Callum and Keith Helfet and revealed to the world at the Geneva motor show in 1993. Although an entry level 6 cylinder was available, the V12 Vantage was the halo model with its 5.9 litre 48 valve engine producing 420 hp and 542 Nm giving it a top speed of 186 mph (dropping to 165 for the auto) and a 0-60 of just 4.9 seconds.
This car has a superb history with Aston Martin dealers stamps to 2007 followed by a marque specialist who took care of any minor issues as well as regular servicing, and this care shows in the condition of the car.
