The elegant-shaped radiator and the compound curves of the front of the bonnet can be traced back to the DB3S with the sculpted interior and predominate curved lines, trimmed in Connolly leather further complimented by burr walnut panels. The engine is a light alloy, twin camshaft, supercharged in-line, six-cylinder with a displacement of 3,228cc.

When recording the history of a modern classic with just one owner, it is destined to be quite a brief summary! With a fabulous history of service, maintenance and MoT test history, the beauty of this DB7 was established by the first and only owner who chose a Cheviot Red livery with two-tone Charcoal and Smoke leather interior punctuated by Walnut veneers. Flawless good looks aside however, there is a strong 28-year ownership with care and consideration clearly emphasised by appearance and condition. This purebred classic is not only of exemplary design but of investment quality and stunning from any viewpoint, a true testament to Aston Martin traditions and the dedication of its one single-minded owner.
