Description
This is a very special collector-quality car in fabulous condition and a great driver.
Impeccably maintained from new, with full Aston Martin Main Dealer and Approved Specialist history. Low owners and the same long-term owner for many years, who has cherished and preserved the car using it only for special occasions.
Mine is truly immaculate and a rare 'genesis' car with a traceable build record, marking it as from the early days of DB7 production, when Aston Martins were still largely hand built.
One of its strong points is that it has been sparingly used and driven every year since it was made, meaning that everything functions correctly. These cars thrive on and are so much better with regular use and regular maintenance.
Highlights:
• One of the very earliest DB7’s
• Comprehensive service history
• Two registered keepers from new
• Genuine low mileage
• Collector-quality car in a beautiful colour combination
• Flawless paintwork
• Beautiful interior
• Incredibly solid underneath
• Comes with full set of rare Aston Martin split-rim alloys
• Unused tool kit
• Beautiful pre airbag interior
In many respects, these early DB7's are truest to the original and more traditional Aston Martin models and the last Aston Martin to emerge from the brand’s independent era.
The new DB7 ‘Baby Aston’ evolved from the cancelled F-Type sports car and, with styling from Keith Helfet and Ian Callum, who went on to be Jaguar’s global head of design ... all-in-all a pretty good pedigree for an astonishingly pretty car.
My car has been utterly reliable, is a wonderful drive and is presented in near-flawless condition. It has been regularly underbody protected for piece of mind.
Straight six DB7's are well-known for ease of ownership and reliability, making them an economical and affordable prospect for Aston Martin ownership at a fraction of the cost (around 50-75% less) of servicing the V12 engine cars - with very little practical differential in performance; due to being supercharged.
The History:
• Full main dealer and specialist history
• Fully stamped service book
• Lots of previous invoices
• Genuine 40k mileage
• UK V5C

The Condition:

• Parchment leather seating with Forest piping
• Forest upper interior leather
• Walnut interior trim pack

• Original ‘Wilton’ over-mats with Aston Martin logo, also in good condition
• Original stereo
• Functional heating
Buckinghamshire Green is an unusual and desirable colour for a DB7. It’s a fabulous-looking car in beautiful condition, no evidence of corrosion, exceptional paint finish and no dents or damage.
The rare Aston Martin ‘Split-Rim’ alloy wheels are in good order with the correct tyres.
The cabin is beautiful; a captivating mix of cream leather with green piping, 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 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 its life and waits for its next lucky owner. 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 ALL SENSIBLE OFFERS.
