2004 Aston Martin DB7 V12 Vantage Volante Automatic

Highlights

  • Low documented mileage of 65,000
  • Only four registered keepers
  • Beautiful Tungsten Silver with two-tone parchment and black leather
  • Highly preserved car in very good order
  • Large history file of specialist marque maintenance 
  • Recent engine and gearbox service and other repairs 
  • Long MOT to May 2025 
  • One of only a few ULEZ compliant DB7s 

The Appeal 

A very good DB7 Vantage Volante is surely one of the best drop top cars of the last 30 years: beautiful, effortlessly quick and oozing hand-crafted finesse. And this 2004 example, which was one of the last built, is definitely a very good example. 
Finished in popular Tungsten Silver metallic with a two-tone Parchment and black leather cabin, it has covered just 65,000 miles from new. The sparing use results in a car showing few signs of its 20 years - even high-traffic areas like the driver’s seat bolster betray little wear. 
The quality impression is reinforced by a thick history file of ongoing maintenance by specialists like Charles Hurst and Ken Plant Autotech. It comes to market fresh from an extensive list of recent scheduled and preventative maintenance work including engine and gearbox service, coolant flush, new windscreen and replacement radiator. The MOT runs to May 2025. 
This is a very good example of Aston’s superlative GT in a popular colour scheme. As an added bonus, despite its V12 6L 430bhp performance it is usefully ULEZ compliant.
