BRITISH BEEF FOR SUNDAY LUNCH: THE ASTON MARTIN DB7

< All Blogs

The Aston Martin DB7 makes for a more sensible investment than money in the bank. Can your savings bond provide affluent driving fun and an icon on the driveway? We think not - certainly not this wonderful 2002 cabriolet.

 

Without the Aston Martin DB7 the world would be a different place. Aston Martin might not still exist and therefore James Bond would drive a Kia, the world would be in disarray and the Le Mans 24-hour race wouldn’t be worth watching. Pay homage, then, to the car that saved the world - or at least according to Johnny English.  

The DB7 may been viewed by some as an XJS in drag, but thanks mainly to styling from Ian Callum and Keith Helfet and that later svelte Aston Martin V12, it’s well beyond mid-level Jag status. It provides a relaxed yet exciting experience with looks and power to boot. 

Critics claimed that ergonomics and build quality weren’t up to scratch, with Series 1 cars suffering a bum exhaust note and lethargic mechanicals. However, with the arrival of the second generation DB7 everything changed. Even today the second generation DB7 is fast - 0-60mph in 4.9 seconds and a top speed around 165mph - and offer the full Aston Martin experience. We have exactly that for sale here on CCFS. 

This 2002 DB7 Vantage Volante is finished in Grigio Silver Metallic with a charcoal black leather interior and a black canvas roof. Besides the usual Aston Martin luxury, this supreme example has covered only 45,000 miles with full Aston Martin service history. It’s just been serviced recently, too - with fifteen otherstamps in the log book. 

Get a look on CCFS.
