It’s easy to fall in love with the Aston Martin DB7 as it is one of the most beautiful coupes ever made. The Vantage, with its slightly flared arches and more aggressive stance is even more appealing, especially when you factor in the superb V12 engine.
The luxuriously trimmed and appointed interior is in very good order throughout and features electric seats, electric windows and mirrors, and recently re-gassed air-conditioning. The figure-hugging black leather seats show some wear and tear but only really in a good way. The rear of the driver’s seat has a piece of leather, which has come a bit adrift, and there’s a small crack in the rather splendid wood on the dashboard.
All the carpets and door cards look in very good clean condition and the rear seats, admittedly small, look like they’ve never been used. The boot has the original Aston Martin umbrella that came with the car and there’s a very useful built-in battery conditioner for those winter storage months.
Finished in very the attractive Mendip Blue the car looks awesome from every angle and still scores very highly on the most gorgeous car ever list. There are a few minor points to mention, there’s a badly touched in scratch on the bonnet and there’s a few stone chips, the near side rear light cluster needs reseating and possibly a new rubber seal, there are some paint bubbles on both rear wheel arches and the top of the driver’s door, one of the four wheels is quite scratched up around the rim, and there’s a small crack in the windscreen lower cowl, but none of these small niggles detract from the overall good condition and presentation of the car.
The current owner has enjoyed the Vantage for just about one year and around 3,500 miles. It came having just had a major service and, other than putting two new tyres at the rear, he has kept an eye on levels and has not serviced it during his ownership. That said, he reports that everything works as it should and the car is simply awesome to drive
Great colour on a very fine-looking machine indeed. With relatively low mileage this represents a great opportunity.
