1996 ASTON MARTIN DB7

KEY FACTS

• A refined modern classic grand tourer, with an attractive green colour scheme and low mileage for its age.
• Its 335bhp and 361lb-ft of torque comes from the supercharged 3.2-litre straight-six, which powers the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission.
• The vendor reports the car was put into storage in 2010, and has only covered around 5,000 miles in the last ten years.
• It benefits from a recent service and is ready to drive.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• It is finished in dark metallic green paintwork, over cream leather upholstery with green piping and smart walnut burr inlays.
• Factory equipment includes electrically adjustable heated seats, air-conditioning and a four-spoke steering wheel.
• It features the Driving Dynamics exhaust tail pipes.
• The car rides on its original alloy wheels.
• Its original owner’s manuals and service book will be included.

CONDITION

• No known bodywork damage.
• The 2016 MOT history indicates that the car has previously had repairs to the spring mounting points and sills to rectify corrosion.
• Its resprayed green paintwork is in good condition, presenting with a few small stone chips on the front end and some light marks to the rear bumper.
• Inside, its cream leather upholstery has only modest signs of use and wear commensurate with the mileage, but is generally in very good order. Some of the other leather shows signs of age, for example around in the instrument binnacle, while there are small nicks and marks to secondary trims.
• No electrical faults have been detected.
• The most recent MOT test was on 21 September 2020 at 62,375 miles, which was a pass with four advisories to monitor corrosion on the front and rear coil springs, worn rear tyres (since replaced) and a corroded fuel pipe.

SERVICE HISTORY

• Its most recent service was in September 2020, where technicians changed the engine oil and filter before fitting new tyres on all four corners.
• Prior to this, the car had been kept in storage, and the last recorded service was at 57,700 miles by an Aston Martin dealer.
