DB7 V12 Vantage Volante

A well maintained RHD Vantage Volante, this lovely Aston Martin was first supplied in 1999 and comes in Islay Blue with Ivory and Royal Blue leather interior and matching Blue Hood. A most attractive example in a truly exquisite colour combination. With a recorded mileage of only 48,147 miles, it has a full service history and represents seriously good value in today’s market. ------------------------------------ The DB7 was the first Aston Martin to come from Ford’s ownership of Aston Martin in 1989, the DB7 was announced in 1994. It was a particularly elegant and beautiful design, styled by Ian Callum, that at the time was rightly regarded as one of the most beautiful ever produced. Initially made with a 6 cylinder 3.2 litre supercharged engine, the DB7 sold in record numbers. There were 2450 DB7 and DB7 Volante cars made. Following from the experience of the DB7, it soon became apparent that the chassis design could handle significantly higher power and that to put Aston Martin right in the top drawer of Grand Touring cars, that a serious uprating would be possible and desirable. This duly came in 1999, with the announcement of the DB7 Vantage. Now with a V12 6 litre engine, performance was significantly increased with a top speed approaching 180mph, with acceleration to match. The DB7 Vantage was manufactured from 1999 to 2004, by which time a total of 4600 cars had been sold. The DB7 was a first for Aston Martin in that it was the first car since 1954 not to have been designed and manufactured at Newport Pagnell. Instead the DB7 was manufactured as a joint Venture with TRW at a factory in Bloxham, Oxfordshire. Despite the unquestionably pretty design, this is still an Aston Martin at heart, complete with high levels of comfort, great road holding, braking and of course acceleration and top speed. ------------------------------------ The DB7 Vantage is at the forefront of affordable yet exciting Aston Martin motoring. With all of the style and elegance associated with any Aston Martin, the DB7 Vantage Volante represents particular value at this time. Genuine examples are now far and few between, and as a result they are becoming very sought after. A most attractive specification, this is a car that longs to be used for those long Continental trips, where the effortless performance and incomparable touring qualities of the car will come to the fore.
