The Appeal
Debuted at the 1993 Geneva Motorshow, the Aston Martin DB7 represented something of a departure for Aston Martin, as well as the breakout styling design of renowned car designer Ian Callum.
The DB7 was positioned as an affordable entry into the Aston Martin world and relied on Jaguar-based architecture, as well as many off-the-shelf components. This makes a DB7 one of the “safest” used exotic car purchases you can buy today.
This particular example is nicely presented in a very traditional and understated colour combination and comes with a large history file to reassure any potential owner. One of the most attainable ways of owning a luxury grand-tourer with pedigree and heritage.
The History and Paperwork
- Registered in 1997
- Current owner since 2010
- Comes with a large folder of history and maintenance
- Current MOT valid until February 2027
The Condition
- General overall condition inside and out is very clean and in line with a vehicle which has been cherished and well looked after
- The car wears its original and very attractive 12 spoke Speedline alloy wheels
- The wood veneer interior trim appears in good condition and is complemented by an optional matching half-wood steering wheel
- Interior leather trim presents very well with a light patina in line with the car’s age
The Mechanics
- Supercharged 3.2-litre straight-six engine
- Four-speed automatic transmission
- The owner informs that during their ownership, the car has been “maintained by myself and local garage”, with the owner commenting that the car “Runs extremely well. Starts first time”
Minor faults which the new owner may wish to investigate:
- Non-functioning cruise control
- AC system which, according to the owner, “needs at least a re-gas”
- Remote locking system disabled
- The car does require new brake discs on the front, and also requires an ABS sensor to be replaced or cleaned. This is causing the warning light to intermittently trigger
