Introduced at the March, 1999, Geneva Salon, the Aston Martin DB7 Vantage eschewed its predecessor's 3,228cc supercharged straight-six for a 5,935cc 48-valve, all-alloy V12 that developed 420bhp and 400lb. ft. Available with a choice of six-speed manual, five-speed automatic, or (later) Touchtronic semi-auto transmission, the DB7 Vantage could be had in Coupé or Volante (Convertible) guises. The latter had its top speed limited to 165mph but could reportedly accelerate from 0-60mph in 5.1 seconds. To cope with such performance, the two-plus-two's structure, suspension, and brakes were all upgraded. Asked to rework his masterpiece, stylist Ian Callum added a reshaped back bumper, more pronounced sills, combined driving lamps/indicators, and horizontal bars to the radiator grille. Priced at £104,486 in 2002, Aston Martin's flagship soft-top came with central locking, electric windows/mirrors, traction control, ABS, air-conditioning, front airbags, an alarm/immobilizer, and 18in. alloy wheels as standard. Notable as the marque's first V12 production model, the DB7 Vantage lasted until 2003 by which time some 2,056 Volantes had been made, with just 778 in right-hand drive.

It gives us great delight to offer such a rare, well preserved and tastefully presented example of a DB7 which has had only five registered keepers and covered just 34,000 miles from new. Finished in the charming but rare colour scheme of Aston Martin Racing Green with a Green hood and an interior in Green and Fawn leather, it has quite obviously only seen sparing use. Its maintenance record begins just after it was acquired by the previous long-term keeper in February, 2009, with an invoice from JCT600 for £1,794, issued in July, 2009, at 23,031 miles. JCT600 then performed work totalling £3,402 at 27,316 miles in February, 2010, and in July, 2010, it received attention from Lancaster Sevenoaks totalling £863.

The then-owner was to keep the DB7 for sixteen years, although it had been in dry storage since 2012 by the time he decided to sell it to our vendor in May, 2025. There then followed, throughout October and November, 2025, an extensive programme of recommissioning by well-respected Aston Martin specialist George Edward. Expenditure around this time exceeded £10,000, and involved replacement Vantage fuel pumps, a brake overhaul, new tyres and a comprehensive service. Further work, including a fresh service, was completed by Lewmark Ltd. of Cricklewood in April, 2026. This cost £2,500 and also included paintwork repairs and refurbishment of the alloy wheels. Prospective bidders will be pleased to know that this car is fitted with a tracker.

We would struggle to think of a better modern classic for summer touring than this Aston, and we’re sure it will be a lovely car to use for excursions with the Aston Martin Owners’ Club. It is supplied with invoices, service history, an HPI report, two working keys, and the current MOT with no advisories valid until November, 2026.
