Exterior

This low mileage V12 Volante presents beautifully in Tungsten Silver metallic. The paintwork has a great depth of shine throughout and the black soft-top is pristine. At the front end of the car there’s barely a stone chip in sight, and both headlamp covers are perfectly clear. The chrome side strakes, door handles, rear trims, and Vantage mesh grilles all retain a bright polished finish, and other than one very small kerb mark on the nearside rear alloy, the 19-inch wheels are immaculate with unblemished centre badges. All in all, a magnificent 2003 example in a timeless colour combo and boasting only 26,500 miles from new.

Interior

Aston Martin has always stood for exceptional levels of craftsmanship and, true to form, the DB7’s cabin is a treat to be inside. Soft black Connolly leather extends from the seats to almost every other surface, and everything remains in fine order. The interior is lifted further with lashings of aluminium trim and complementing pale grey Alcantara for the headlining. All the switchgear functions correctly, the air conditioning is ice-cold, and the chunky sports steering wheel feels particularly good in hand with an excellent grain to the leather. The footwell carpets are protected by a set of mats, and at the rear of the car the seats appear to have seen very little use.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION

The DB7’s naturally aspirated V12 was a veritable tour de force when it landed on the scene in 1999. With a factory output of 420hp and a 0-60 time of only 5.2 seconds, the Vantage is no slouch – and we’re delighted to report that this particular example feels every bit the low mileage to drive. The last service was carried out recently in May 2025 by marque specialists, Vantage Engineering, who also completed the previous service in 2022 only 233 miles earlier. The car has always been well maintained at close mileage intervals with 14 entries in the original service book.
