- Recent bill for £4850
The Appeal
The DB7 is pivotal to Aston Martin’s history, the car that saved the firm and bridged the gap between old and new. A remarkable achievement for a car that nearly never was.
Alongside those iconic lines, widely acclaimed as amongst the most beautiful of modern era GTs, what makes the DB7 is its V12 powerplant, a Cosworth-fettled motor that is as smooth and silky as the bodywork.
Finished in dark Royal Blue metallic with a two-tone cream and blue interior, this Vantage exhibits all the reasons why these cars remain so popular. In excellent condition with extensive specialist service and maintenance history, including nearly £8,000 spent at RS Williams, it is a clearly cared for example.
