  • Desirable 5-speed manual transmission
  • Cosseted example with just three owners from new

Finished in Rolls-Royce Brewster Green (British Racing Green) with custom Light Tan hide interior as specified by first owner Sir Elton, this pampered example features desirable 5-speed manual transmission and boasts an enviable specification including; top of the range Alpine stereo with remote control, 6 stack CD changer in boot with large Alpine V12 amplifier (a non-standard installation to the specification laid down by Sir Elton), Motorola car phone in centre console under arm rest, stainless front mesh grille, heated front and rear screens, heated front seats, fully adjustable electric seats, Aston Martin Stage 1 stainless steel rear exhausts, Aston Martin electric tyre compressor in boot), Cobra Cat 1 alarm, cruise control, electric aerial, space saver tyre, correctly functioning air-conditioning etc. The jack, spare bulbs and tools are also present and the car comes with two sets of keys. With just c.14,500 miles from new, this low mileage and pampered DB7, boasting previous celebrity ownership, is accompanied by the original warranty card in Sir Elton’s name along with a copy of its first V5 document.

Powered by a 3239cc DOHC straight-six engine boasting four valves per cylinder, Zytec multi-point fuel injection and an Eaton supercharger, the DB7 was credited with developing 335bhp and 360lbft, which when allied to five-speed manual transmission reputedly enabled the Aston Martin to sprint from 0-60mph in 5.6 seconds and reach 165 mph. Styled by Ian Callum and introduced at the March 1993 Geneva Salon, the DB7 has long been regarded as a modern masterpiece. Priced at circa £80,000 the six-cylinder coupe remained current until 1999 by which time some 1,578 had been sold.
