In 1996, Aston Martin Sales of Mayfair commissioned a special edition of the DB7 i6 in conjunction with leading specialists Chiltern Aston Centre of Hertfordshire who carried out the conversion. At the Goodwood Festival of Speed that year the GTS was launched. A limited number of coupes and volantes were converted, the specification of which included air louvres set into Zagato style bonnet bulges, black Le Mans style mesh grille with yellow band, Speedline Aliseo split rim wheels, white instrument dials with GTS logo, wood rim steering wheel, additional wood veneers, GTS badging and sports exhaust.

This automatic transmission example has been enjoyed by just two previous owners and currently displays some 38,300 miles on its odometer. Up until September 2003, when the car had covered c.30,400 miles, it had always been cared for by Paramount Cardiff whilst the accompanying service record bears stamps from the pre-delivery inspection carried out on 29 August 1996 up to 25 March 2015 (37,121 miles), since when we understand the car has mostly been in storage. This most attractive limited edition DB7 is offered with Swansea V5C document and owner's handbook containing service records and is expected to possess a fresh MoT by the time of sale. The current cherished registration is being retained.
