The Appeal
Beautiful aesthetics and powerful performance have always been Aston Martin's way and there’s no exception with their glorious DB7. Its smooth, sinuous lines introduced a new direction for the firm's design whilst being rightly feted as one of the most beautiful cars of the last 30 years.
This V12 2000 Volante is classically finished in Solent Silver metallic and is a rare and desirable manual model. The value of these cars is driven both by condition and maintenance history, ideally by specialists or main dealers.
This car's history file is one of the best we have seen on this model in recent years. It combines an unbroken run of 19 service visits - all work by main dealers and specialists - with a raft of additional work. This really is a car where 'no expense spared' applies.
