What began as a unique collaboration between Aston Martin and ‘the foremost British men’s luxury house’ soon evolved into a projected run of 150 cars (both coupes and convertibles). Announced in December 1997, the ‘Alfred Dunhill’ was arguably the best-looking of the straight-six engined DB7 limited edition models. Finished in the distinctive platinum metallic hue of ‘Dunhill Silver’, the 2+2-seaters were trimmed in Charcoal leather with Silver Grey piping and had the words ‘Afred Dunhill’ etched into their front headrests. Special watch-inspired centres adorned their alloy wheels and each centre console housed an indulgent Dunhill millennium clock. Wood veneers were banished by brushed aluminium inserts and the instruments given white faces. A numbered plaque was appended to the driver’s sill and a range of options offered which could boost the list price to over £120,000. It is thought that just 84 of the planned 150 were made with the vast majority being ordered with automatic transmission. Indeed, it is believed that just six Coupes and three Volantes were built with five-speed manual gearboxes.
One of the supposed half dozen, chassis SCFAA1116XK102448 was supplied new via Aston Martin Five Oaks Garage Ltd to a Channel Islands’ resident on 23rd April 1999. Cherished by its five registered keepers, the Alfred Dunhill Edition has been serviced no fewer than twenty-one times by main dealers, Works Service and marque specialists. Indeed, the best part of £8,000 was spent last year alone with the Chiltern Aston Centre including a new clutch, replacement coolant gasket and attention to the heater / blower etc. Said to be ‘notably sharp and to present like a much lower mileage example’, the Aston Martin offers a huge amount of exclusivity and cache for the money. Deemed by many to be among the 1990s’ best-looking designs, manual transmission, limited editions DB7s such as this one will become increasingly sought after. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file.
