The Appeal

The DB7 is a prime example of what can be achieved when car manufacturers work together. The project was based on a concept by TWR funded by Ford, made mostly with Jaguar resources and styled by the best in the business: Ian Callum and Keith Helfet. Much like the Jaguar XJS platform upon which it was loosely based, the Aston Martin DB7 proved an excellent grand tourer, and to this day, they're a great car for Continental road trips.

This 1998 example is the straight-six-engined 'Volante', denoting its convertible roof. It's covered just 37,402 miles during its 27 years on the road, and as a result, it's in very good condition. We adore that timeless racing green exterior over tan colour scheme, and this car is set off perfectly with the AML private plate which is included in the sale.

Complete with an advisory-free MOT until June 2025, this Aston is ready to go to a new home.
