Description
Classic Car Design offers you this superb Aston Martin DB7 Alfred Dunhill Edition. This is a limited edition of 150 numbered cars produced in collaboration with the famous British luxury clothing and accessories brand. In the end, only 78 examples were produced. Mechanical gearboxes are rare in this series, and left-hand drive cars are even rarer and this one is of French origin! Just a car you can't find anywhere! Finished by the famous Ian Callum, its style was unanimously acclaimed and it was to form the basis of Aston-Martin's revival.
On the outside, all Dunhill cars were finished in the same metallic platinum colour. The wheels are dark grey, with a central hubcap in the shape of a watch case ! The bodywork is superb, with very few signs of use. The headlight bubbles are transparent.
Inside, on the doorway, the engraved plaque bearing the car's number is immediately noticeable - this one is the 42nd. All the upholstery is in very good condition. The leather is dark grey with light grey piping and all the inserts have a brushed aluminium finish. An 'Alfred Dunhill' clock sits in the centre of the centre console.
Mechanically, the car has been regularly serviced, so everything is in working order. The car comes with a file of invoices dating back 20 years. The in-line 6-cylinder engine has a discreet sound, but you have to unleash the 335 bhp to hear the characteristic whistle of the Eaton supercharger.
The DB7 benefited from Ford's arrival in Aston Martin's capital, and is a car that marks a break with previous models. Technically derived from its cousin the Jaguar XJS and developed by Tom Walkinshaw Racing, it enabled Aston Martin to reclaim its place at the top end of the automotive market. It is undoubtedly one of the Aston Martins to collect, especially in this extremely rare configuration !
