- A 1 owner example and 54,500 miles from new
- Factory fitted upgrades including styling kit and AP calipers
- Offered with a large collection of invoices
`T646 FUM' is no ordinary DB7, being a rare one-owner-from-new automatic transmission example that has covered just 54,500 miles to date. Finished in Metallic Green and trimmed in Cream hide it benefits from such factory-fitted upgrades as the appropriate styling kit and larger brake discs operated by AP Racing calipers. A further part of the special order was the substitution of rear seats by a dedicated luggage area. The Aston was apparently treated to an extensive c.£30,000 restoration by Bamford Rose in 2014, work which included: a total repaint with all new seals; overhaul of the gearbox and differential; new brake discs and pads and refurbishment of the calipers; overhauling of the suspension; attention to the leather upholstery; refurbishment of the alloy wheels; and a comprehensive service. The attractive car is now available complete with Tracker, its original handbook and sales brochure, and a collection of invoices for work carried out over the years.
Although Victor Gauntlett had long mooted the idea, it took the arrival of Ford money and TWR know-how for a new generation, `small' Aston Martin to become reality. Unveiled at the 1993 Geneva Salon, the DB7 revived the nomenclature of the much vaunted and now highly collectable David Brown Astons of the `50s and `60s, but had been subjected to more testing and development work than any of the marque's previous models. Power came from a supercharged, Jaguar-derived, straight-six DOHC unit of 3.2-litres capacity, that delivered 335bhp and 361 lb ft of torque. This was sufficient to propel the 1800kg 2+2 to 60mph in 5.7 seconds and to a top speed of around 165mph. The body structure comprised a steel monocoque chassis part clad with a mix of steel and moulded plastic panels. The luxurious interior was dominated by Connolly hide and walnut. Some 7,000 DB7s were manufactured between 1994 and 2003.
