2001 Aston Martin DB7 V12 Vantage Volante

Highlights

  • Only 47,533 miles from new 
  • Three registered keepers 
  • Popular green and cream colour scheme
  • Recent £5,000 of mechanical and other work 
  • Resprayed in 2023 
  • Long MOT to August 2025
  • Tidy and well kept low mileage 430bhp Volante 

The Appeal 

The DB7 kick-started a new era for Aston Martin. The firm’s current hegemony and Formula One success started here. Just look at this tidy Volante and you can see why - it has to be one of the most beautiful cars of the last 30 years. 
The Vantage Volante got the firm’s super-smooth V12 5.9L engine, pumping out a not inconsiderable 430bhp. These luxurious cars are perfect for high days and holidays - or perhaps a jaunt to sunnier climes on France’s southern coast where this boulevardier would fit right in.
Classically finished in light green with matching roof and a two-tone green and cream interior, it is a pretty car that comes to market fresh from £5,000 investment by the current keeper. It was resprayed in 2023. He is only the third custodian of this very low mileage car - a mere 47,533 miles - in its 23 years. 
Regular servicing by Aston Martin and a long MOT to August 2025 reinforces the provenance of this very sparingly used car.
