2001 ASTON MARTIN DB7 VANTAGE - MANUAL

KEY FACTS

• A stylish and refined grand tourer with a rare specification, low mileage, and strong recent maintenance history.
• It is equipped with the 5.9-litre V12, producing around 414bhp and 400lb-ft of torque, coupled with the lesser-seen six-speed manual transmission
• It benefits from good service history, performed by a combination of main dealer and specialist technicians.

EQUIPMENT AND OPTIONS

• Skye Silver paintwork, Dark Grey and Light Grey leather upholstery, and elm wood inlays.
• Equipped with the manual transmission, it represents an exceptionally rare variant of the Vantage model.
• Original owner’s guide and service book included, with two keys and an Aston Martin Heritage Trust certificate
• The appropriate registration ‘MX02 AML’ as a nod to Aston Martin Lagonda is included.
• The car was originally supplied via a dealer in Geneva but brought immediately back to the UK; and while there is no paperwork to prove this, the vendor was led to believe it was the 2001 Geneva motor show car. It was initially driven in the UK on Swiss plates, but was re-registered on UK plates in 2004, prior to being sold to the second keeper.

CONDITION

• No known bodywork damage.
• Its Skye Silver paintwork is in superb condition, with only a small 2-3mm stone chip to the roof noted.
• Two-tone Dark Grey and Light Grey leather upholstery is in excellent shape, with the Aston Martin logo embossed on the headrests and which feature just a few light creases to the outer bolsters.
• An aftermarket Alpine stereo has been installed, and no electrical faults have been detected.
• The most recent MOT test was on 12 October 2020 at 33,204 miles, which was a first-time pass with no advisories or defects.

SERVICE HISTORY

• Its last scheduled maintenance was undertaken in November 2019 at 32,873 miles, where technicians at Aston Martin specialist AJ Tech in Heathfield also changed the brake fluid, and replaced the front and rear subframe mounts.
• There is a gap in the known service history between late 2007 and 2012, but the car was put through annual MOT tests during this period attesting to the condition and low mileage accrual.
• The car has been displayed at various Aston Martin Owners Club events, as the vendor is a member.
