The Aston Martin DB7 is a grand tourer that was built by Aston Martin from 1994 to 2004. The car could be either coupe or convertible and could have either a six- or twelve-cylinder engine.
The car initially was only sold with a straight-six as the DB7, but in 1999 the V12 was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show.
The V12 Vantage was so popular that Aston Martin ceased production of the straight-six DB7 before the year was over.

This DB7 is highly desirable because it is in fact, a V12 Vantage. This 6.0L V12 heart makes roughly 420hp, has a ZF 5HP30 automatic transmission, and weighs just shy of two tons. Visual differences when compared to straight-six DB7 include different side mirrors, large fog lights under the regular headlights, and ‘DB7 Vantage’ badging at the rear.
The exterior to this V12 Vantage is wonderful. The car is finished in a metallic brown shade called 'Berwick Bronze,' it is so dark you would think it was jet black until the light hits it.
The paint is truly stunning, dark colors tend to showcase scratches and imperfections, but there are none to be seen. The chrome grille and badging at the rear are also in impeccable condition. The dark brown convertible top is in great shape.
There is no apparent damage to be seen in the canvas let alone even a single wrinkle in the fabric. Up or down, the soft top shows no flaws.
The 9-spoke wheels are also in excellent condition, sporting no curb rash whatsoever.
The inside of this Aston Martin has light tan leather seats and door panels, a dark chestnut leather dash, and wood trim all around. The interior looks excellent.
There are no tears or holes in the leather of either seat. The driver’s seat has obviously been sat in before, but the passenger seat looks rather untouched.
The dashboard is clean, as is the center console. The leather wrapped steering wheel is in great condition, and the wooden inlays show no chips or scratches anywhere.
Based on this car’s condition it would be safe to assume that there is no major damage underneath the car. Based on the age of this vehicle, it would also be safe to assume that there is some degree of minor surface corrosion.
This car has had 4 owners. The first owner kept the car in Connecticut for 11 months and put 924 miles on the odometer. The second owner, also in Connecticut, had the car for 4 and a half years and did roughly 2,500 miles with it. The third seller bought the car in 2009, kept the car in Connecticut, had it for three years and did roughly 3,000 more miles. The seller took ownership of the car around August of 2020.
Included with the car are the original window sticker, factory inspection sheet, and several manuals.
The DB7 is a handsome car from a particularly difficult time in Aston Martin’s history. Ford’s ownership over the brand during this time was overall a huge mistake, but Aston Martin’s unwavering commitment to building fine automobiles led to the birth of this fine beast. The V12 Vantage has a fantastic engine full of personality and the convertible roof is the cherry on top of it all. This is an excellent example representing the pinnacle of what Aston Martin could create in the early 2000s.
It should be noted that this vehicle has been on static display for a number of years. The car does run and drive, but should be serviced by the next owner.
The car is sold ‘as seen’.
Please note that the title for this vehicle is in transit.
