Description
This one is a very special car indeed, a collector-quality car in fabulous overall condition, impeccably maintained with full Aston Martin Main Dealer or Approved Specialist service history. Low owners and the same long-term owner for many years, who has cherished and preserved the car using it only for high days and holidays.
It is a truly lovely, impeccably maintained, example with the added advantage of being a genesis car – one of the very first of the breed with a traceable build record marking it out as from the very early days of DB7 production, when Astons were still largely hand built.
It’s an absolute stunner, always garaged and presented in near flawless condition.
One of its strong points, despite the low mileage, is that it has been sparingly used and driven every year since it was produced, meaning that everything functions correctly. These cars thrive on, and are so much better for, regular use and regular maintenance.

• Collector-quality car in a beautiful colour combination

The Appeal:
In many respects, the DB7 is the last Aston Martin to emerge from the brand’s independent era, even though it was developed while Aston was under Ford ownership.
The new DB7 ‘Baby Aston’ evolved from the cancelled Jaguar F-Type sports car and was based on a heavily modified Jaguar XJ-S platform, with styling from Keith Helfet, who designed the Jaguar XJ220, and Ian Callum, who went on to be Jaguar’s global head of design – so a pretty good pedigree for an astonishingly pretty car.
It became the fastest-selling Aston Martin ever and for a very good reason.

These straight six DB7's are well-known for ease of ownership and superb reliability, making them an economical and affordable prospect at a fraction of the cost (around 50-75% less) of servicing the V12 engine cars - with very little practical differential in performance as a result of being supercharged.

My Aston presents beautifully in Buckinghamshire Green – an unusual and desirable colour for a DB7 - with all of its original paintwork and trim. It’s a fabulous-looking car in truly wonderful condition, with no evidence of corrosion, an exceptional paint finish and no dents or damage to note.
The extremely rare Aston Martin ‘Split-Rim’ alloy wheels are in good order and are well shod with the correct tyres.
The cabin is truly beautiful, offering a captivating mix of cream leather with green piping and a superb dash with walnut veneered details and thick carpets. The overall condition is excellent, as you’d expect given its mileage and ownership history.
The seats are beautifully presented and show hardly a hint of wear.
The Mechanics:
• 3. 2-litre straight-six
• Supercharged
• Four-speed automatic
• Sports and Traction Mode
• Drives without fault
Powered by a strong and punchy supercharged straight-six, coupled with the desirable four-speed automatic transmission with sports setting, this DB7 is the archetypal British high-speed touring car.
It has been impeccably well-maintained all of its life and waits in readiness for its next lucky owner. It’s a gorgeous and rapidly appreciating modern classic, made all the more special by being one of the seminal DB7s and largely hand built.
One of the very first of the breed. A rare and extremely collectible find.
I AM OPEN TO ANY INSPECTION, A TEST DRIVE, AND SENSIBLE OFFERS.
