The Appeal
Elegant, powerful, and steeped in tradition - it's little wonder that Aston Martin are still regarded as the crème de la crème of motoring. Launched in 1994, and lasting on the market for a good ten years, the Ian Callum-designed DB7 is one of the most successful models in Aston Martin history. This model hit the market when it seemed that the marque was in dire straits - and for many, represents the turning point for when the brand met the modern age.
This particular example has a unique history and a high level of specification. It was first registered on diplomatic plates to King Abdullah of Jordan and was supplied new by Aston Martin Sales of Mayfair. It has been well maintained, with £94,000 worth of service and maintenance invoices from 2007 to present.
The car is finished in special order Rolls Royce colours to order, and was ordered with all options - it's a All of that provenance and spec will no doubt make this a very desirable purchase.
