2003 ASTON MARTIN DB7 VANTAGE VOLANTE

KEY FACTS

• A well-maintained example of a powerful convertible grand tourer, with relatively low mileage and an elegant colour scheme.
• Under the bonnet sits a 5.9-litre V12 engine producing 420bhp which is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission.
• An excellent history contains around 70 pages of invoices for maintenance carried out through the car’s life to date, along with a stamped service book.
• Imported from Jersey and with all UK taxes and VAT paid having gone through the official NOVA process. It now only needs to have the V55/5 registration documentation sent off to the DVLA.

EQUIPMENT AND OPTIONS

• From the factory, this DB7 Volante was fitted with the Burr Maple trim set, satellite navigation system, aluminium pedals, wire mesh front grille, wind deflector and came with a leather hood cover, all of which pushed the price to over £110,000 when new.
• Included with the vehicle is the full set of Aston Martin dealer literature, fully stamped service history, around 70 pages of invoices, CD stacker system located in the boot, and a full tool kit including the Aston Martin battery charger.

CONDITION

• No known accident history. There is a minor pin dent near the fuel filler cap, and a small mark on the lower driver’s door around 5mm in diameter.
• The paintwork is believed to have had some minor rectification for scratches or scuffs in the past, but the work has evidently been carried out to a very high standard, indistinguishable from the factory paint finish.
• The roof was replaced with a new factory specification item during 2019, and shows no sign of any wear. The door handles were also replaced at this time.
• Inside, the seats show commensurate wear for the age and mileage of the vehicle, while the carpets, dashboard and door cards are in great condition.
• There are no known faults with the vehicle, and no warning lights present on the dashboard.
• The vendor has stated a fresh MOT test will be carried out before the car is handed over to the next owner.

SERVICE HISTORY

• The latest service took place during April 2021 and was performed by V12 Auto Ltd. This service comprised simply of an oil change, as the vehicle had covered only five miles since the service in 2020.
• During 2020 the car was serviced at 58,875 miles by V12 Auto which included a full major service with new brake pads and fluid, coolant, oil and filters and spark plugs.
• In 2018 the vehicle was serviced by Paul Keens Motor Repairs on Jersey at 56,792 miles. This service included replacement subframe bushes, trailing arms, steering joints, and heater valves. The battery was checked along with the power steering fluid, brakes, exhaust system and coolant. A new radiator and coolant cap were also fitted.
• Outside of routine servicing, the vehicle has had a throttle body rebuild during 2020 and new bonnet struts fitted, in addition to the aforementioned roof and door handle replacements.

SUMMARY

• Having been very well maintained and left wanting for nothing throughout its life, this Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Volante is an excellent example of the V12-powered convertible which is ready for the next owner to enjoy all through the summer. Benefitting from a high factory specification and fastidiously documented service history, this example would make a stylish addition to any collection.
