The Appeal
The Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Volante is often held up as one of the most beautiful cars in history, and it's easy to see why. With its smooth, sophisticated styling and low profile, the Volante feels as fast and aggressive as it does beautifully restrained and distinguished - a sort of stiff upper lip with a petrolhead centre.
This particular model stands out with its factory option 19" wheels, sports exhaust, and an aggressive look enhanced by red brake calipers and an Aston Martin stainless steel mesh grill accessory. The car's Metallic Tungsten Silver exterior beautifully complements the Parchment interior.
This DB7 Vantage Volante has been meticulously maintained, with approximately £19,000 spent on servicing and maintenance. The car has been in the current ownership since 2016 and has been garaged and well-maintained throughout its life, to obvious benefit. This fabulous example has even placed 3rd in AMOC's concours competition with minimal preparation, further demonstrating its exceptional condition.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
