Few cars
of the modern era possess quite the elegance and presence of the Aston Martin
DB7. Penned by Ian Callum and widely regarded as one of the most beautiful grand
tourers of its generation, the DB7 combined classic Aston Martin styling with
effortless long-distance performance, helping to secure the marque's future and
introducing a new generation of enthusiasts to the brand.
Supplied new by
Stratstone of Wilmslow and first registered in November 2002, this handsome DB7
Vantage is finished in the ever-popular combination of Tungsten Silver with
Charcoal leather trim. Sitting on its original 18-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels,
the timeless proportions and elegant detailing ensuring it still turns heads
more than two decades after its launch.
Beneath the long bonnet lies the
model's defining feature: Aston Martin's magnificent 5.9-litre V12 engine,
developing some 420bhp and 542Nm of torque. Coupled to the desirable ZF
five-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel-mounted shift buttons, it
delivers the sort of effortless performance and cultured soundtrack that only a
naturally aspirated V12 can provide.
The cabin remains a wonderfully
special place to spend time, with walnut veneer accents and featuring air
conditioning, electric windows, electric mirrors, heated seats and the original
Becker Traffic Pro radio/CD system, complete with navigation functionality for
period correctness.
Showing just 73,775 miles, the car presents well and
has benefited from recent expenditure including a replacement headlining and new
battery fitted in September 2025. The history file accompanies the vehicle and
includes the V5C, original owner's manuals and booklets, service records showing
an impressive 15 service stamps, seven of which were completed by main dealers,
along with four previous MOT certificates, the Becker code card, navigation disc
and associated manuals.
Also included is the purchase invoice from 2023
when the car was acquired from a dealer at approximately 69,500 miles for around
£21,000, together with the invoice for the battery replacement.
The
current MOT remains valid until March 2027 and records no
advisories.
Prospective purchasers should note that the private
registration displayed in some photographs has now been retained and the vehicle
will revert to its original registration number.
Combining handsome
looks, V12 power, sensible mileage and a well-documented history file, this DB7
Vantage represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Aston Martin's most
significant modern classics. Beautiful, charismatic and understated, it offers a
great deal of motoring theatre for remarkably accessible money – enough,
perhaps, to make every journey feel just a little bit like a Bond
film.
