The Appeal

It's no secret that Britain adores Aston Martin. Perhaps one of the most aspirational car brands in the world, the boys at Bloxham are unavoidable when it comes to the luxury lifestyle, and it's not hard to work out why. Majestic in marketing, legendary in styling and offering pure thoroughbred performance, there aren't many brands with such a refined image.

The DB7, introduced in 1994, summated this reputation in style. Intended as an entry-level model, it was still a car of market-leading distinction, especially if it had that big 6-Litre V12 under its bonnet. It's still an incredibly handsome car that feels right at home on the modern network, with just enough modern-classic sensibility to give it effortless cool.

Treasured throughout its current ownership, this fabulous 2002 example - presented in a very handsome blue livery - has a comprehensive service history, V12 dust cover and leather tonneau. Whether you're planning to really get to grips with it on the road, or wish to cosmetically correct it, this fine car has plenty going for it!
