2002 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Coupe

The Aston Martin DB7 was the most successful model to date, with more than 7,000 examples build over its 11-year production run. A six-liter V-12 engine became available in 1999, and the Vantage model offered a six-speed gearbox.

This DB7 Vantage was given numerous bespoke features for its original owner, totaling some £31,000 as a factory one-off. It was given a 'Works Prepared' badge in the grille, 1964 Works Racing Green exterior, rear seat delete, Rolls-Royce rocker switches, exposed fuel filler, and a factory-installed Nakamichi stereo system. The bespoke tail lamp treatment is similar in design to the limited-production V8 Vantage V600 of the 1990s. Other unique features are the deck spoiler, rear window wiper, a special rear valance that incorporates reverse and rear fog lights.

The interior is finished in shades of Cognac and British Racing Green leather with green wool carpets. Currently, the odometer shows just over 64,000 miles. The engine is a 5935cc dual overhead cam V-12 engine fitted with Indirect Electronic fuel injection. There is a 6-speed TREMEC T-56 manual gearbox and four-wheel Brembo ventilated disc brakes.
