The Aston Martin DB7, especially in its later guise has become a timeless and beautiful shape even in today’s modern market. The DB7 was fitted with a proper GT engine after 1999, these sleek British built cars had a front mounted 5. 9 litre V12 combined with a 5-speed ZF automatic gearbox. The engine produced 420bhp and 400 lb-ft of torque whisking your way to 62mph in just 5. 2 seconds. Despite it being the most sold Aston Martin up to the end of production when the DB9 took over, the DB7 is now few and far between, making these more and more collectable, especially cars produced in the last years of its production.
This particular Volante has aged well with its Antrim Blue over blue mohair hood exterior and pacific blue over parchment interior, with walnut veneer. Initially supplied and serviced by Stratstone Aston Martin, this example has been garaged in its current ownership as part of a collection and rarely used. Currently sitting at 67, 000 miles, it has covered just 2, 500 miles in the last seven years.
This generation of DB is a fantastic reminder that Aston even in hard times still wanted to show the world that cars could still be built well in Britain. With its engineers still signing off on their work on laser cut badges on engines stating that they were hand built in England.
Both the exterior and interior remain in good condition considering the cars age and mileage, it has obviously been well looked after. The history folder includes a host of service stamps from official Aston Martin service centre, Stratstone until 39, 500 and then serviced by specialists thereafter. Despite its low usage in recent years, it has still been sent for a service annually and was last carried out at 66, 600 miles. The car also comes with various paperwork including old MOTs. The car also includes a current V5C document and will be sold with its original number plate (DC03 YTA).
Estimate: £19, 000 – 21, 000
