The Appeal

The Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Volante is often held up as one of the most beautiful cars in history, and it's easy to see why. With its smooth, sophisticated styling and low profile, the Volante feels as fast and aggressive as it does beautifully restrained and distinguished - a sort of stiff upper lip with a petrolhead centre.

This particular model stands out with its factory option 19" wheels, sports exhaust, and an aggressive look enhanced by red brake calipers and an Aston Martin stainless steel mesh grill accessory. The car's Metallic Tungsten Silver exterior beautifully complements the Parchment interior.

This DB7 Vantage Volante has been meticulously maintained, with approximately £19,000 spent on servicing and maintenance. The car has been in the current ownership since 2016 and has been garaged and well-maintained throughout its life, to obvious benefit. This fabulous example has even placed 3rd in AMOC's concours competition with minimal preparation, further demonstrating its exceptional condition.
