The Appeal

The Vantage Volante makes a lot of sense to us. An Aston Martin DB7 is a GT car, so for those jaunts across the Continent, it makes perfect sense to choose the convertible variant. For the same reason, an automatic gearbox is a good call and why would you tick the box marked ‘straight six’ when there’s a glorious V12 available…

Here’s a car matching that exact specification. How fortuitous! And what’s more, it’s a prime example. This Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Volante has a mere 40,650 miles on the clock and just six registered keepers. The vendor provides us with a detailed account of the service history and points out that there are no advisories on the current MOT certificate.

Here’s a great opportunity to acquire a lovely low-mileage DB7 resplendent in a fantastic factory specification.
