1997 Aston Martin DB7 Volante

Highlights

  • Low mileage 
  • Full service history
  • Great colour combination 

The Appeal

Launched in 1994, the DB7 remains one of the finest looking cars on the road and was a highly sought after GT, equally comfortable driving across continents, fast country roads or driving in town. 
With the Volante following in 1996, it quickly became Aston Martins most successful car up to that point, marking a new life for iconic brand. This particular model was purchased just under a year ago and has done about 160 miles since. Not being used as much as originally planned, the vendor feels it deserved a new home, as we all know, these cars like to be driven.

The History and Paperwork

  • Supplied new in 1997
  • MOT until June 2024
  • V5c present 
  • Full service history – part specialist and Aston Martin
  • Genuine documented mileage
  • Owners manual and service book in original wallet
  • Invoices and servicing and maintenance
  • 3 keys
  • Spacesaver spare wheel and jack

The Interior

  • Gorgeous cream and green leather interior
  • No rips, tears or marks on the seats, just a small amount of wear to the driver’s seat bolster
  • Nice carpets in very good condition with matching over mats
  • Electric windows and mirrors
  • Electric and heated seats
  • Dual zone air conditioning 
  • Electronically operated roof
  • All gauges and electrics work
  • Dashboard and trim are free from any cracks or damage 
  • Radio / cassette with CD multichanger
  • Headlining shows no signs of sagging
  • Door cards in good condition
  • Clean carpeted boot with spare wheel, jack and tool kit
The delightful interior is presented in excellent condition throughout and the only signs of wear are to the drivers seat (ever so slightly) and a tiny little crack to the wooden veneer below the gear stick. Apart from that the cabin is a wonderful place to be with just the right amount of luxury to ensure you arrive at your destination as fresh as a daisy. 
The only additional thing to note would be an intermittent ABS sensor light that occasionally appears. 

The Exterior

  • Metallic Black Emerald paintwork is in very nice condition with no dents anywhere to be seen
  • There are a few small blemishes and stone chips dotted around the car, as seen in the photos
  • New Bridgestone PSport tyres
  • Original 12-spoke 18” alloys
  • Nice clear headlights 
  • Underneath had anti-corrosion treatment from new and appears good and solid
  • Lights all work and are free from any cracks or damage
Catch the car in the right light and it almost looks black it’s so dark, and its only when you get a little closer you notice the deep green hue. The car presents beautifully and has likely been garaged for much of its life. The soft top is also in excellent condition with no rips and comes with a tonneau cover to make it looks extra smart for those long summer outings. 

The Mechanics

  • 3,239cc straight-six engine
  • 4-speed automatic gearbox
  • Eaton supercharger
  • Nice clean engine bay 
  • Great service history
  • All electrics reported to function correctly
The creamy smooth 3.2 supercharged engine provides plenty of punch on the roads today and will provide you with a super smooth effortless ride. With a full service history and so few miles, this car is every bit as good as it looks. 
The owner advises that the car drives like a dream as you might expect, and if it wasn’t for the light usage he would have loved to keep it.

The Summary

A very nice DB7 Volante which ticks just about every box – great history, low mileage, and beautifully preserved by its previous careful owners. Add to that the ability to drop the roof, this is one glorious machine that will no doubt tempt a few that have long held a dream to own an Aston Martin, or anyone that wants to elevate their passion for driving to new heights.
