“ Terrific Condition - Great Colours - Lovely History ”
If you’ve ever lusted after a DB7 (and who hasn’t?), this is the time to put your money where your dream is.

Background
Designed by Ian Callum, the Aston Martin DB7 was available as a coupé or a convertible, and with a manual or an automatic gearbox. Initially offered with either a straight-six or a V8 engine, the range was later expanded to include a six-litre V12.

Famously intended to be the Jaguar F-TYPE, the DB7’s chassis can trace its roots directly to that of the Jaguar XJS (which in turn can trace its lineage back to the XJ saloons of the late 1960s, which in turn utilized the rear IRS from the Jaguar MK10 of the early 1960s and the front suspension of the Jaguar MK1 of the 1950s…).

That said, Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) re-engineered the underpinnings so thoroughly as to make them completely different cars.

Built in the factory that used to build the Jaguar XJ220, the DB7 is the only modern Aston Martin to utilize a steel monocoque body. Not that anyone cares what it’s made from because the DB7 is one of the most beautiful cars of the 20th century.

It is so unutterably lovely that we have no doubt that we’ll look back in fifty years’ time and mutter do you remember when you could buy those for bugger all? as one glides past us. You know, like we do now about the E Type, the air-cooled Porsche 911s, the competition-pedigree Fords, et al.

Overview
Fitted with the supercharged 3.2-litre straight-six that offers 330bhp and 369lb-ft of torque, ‘P400 TKH’ comes with a run of MoT certificates that verify the 38,700 miles recorded on the odometer.

Finished in Buckingham Green with a Parchment hide interior, it also benefits from a recent £12,000 recommissioning service by Riedling & Mouser plus other four-figure work later in the year by George Edward, an independent DB7 specialist.

Running beautifully, it’s only being offered for sale because the seller has unexpectedly lost four of his garage spaces and isn’t prepared to put them into storage: “I’d only be worrying about them, and it doesn’t do them any good anyway.”

As a result, both this and the Stornoway Silver DB7 GTA we’re also offering have to go, so they’re being offered with no reserve and will be considered sold after the very first bid has been placed.

History
A previous auction listing suggests the first owner sold the car to Aston Martin Grange in June 2000 with 22,100 miles on the odometer. It also suggests the second owner purchased it from them, and it stayed with him and his brother until 2025.

The seller purchased it only last year. A self-confessed fastidious collector, he was thrilled to find such an original car: “I wanted a perfect DB7”, he sighed, “and I found one. I only wish I could keep it.”

He drove it for a while to shake-down any teething issues before consigning it into George Edward’s hands to sort out the few niggles that remained.

This lifelong attention to detail is reflected in the car’s MoT history, which is nothing but clean passes with no advisories. This includes the current one, which is valid until July 2026.

Unsurprisingly, the recent Vehicle History Check is clear, and the car comes with two sets of keys.

The history file also includes a V5 Registration Certificate in the seller’s name, the Aston Martin wallet and service history booklet, a photo album, lots of old invoices, some expired MoTs, and even an old tax disc.

Summary
With a guide price of between £13,000 and £16,000 – or about the same amount that’s been invested in the past year to recommission it – we’re again reminded of how cheap Aston Martin DB7s are now.

Surely we can’t be alone in wondering how long this can go on for?

And, because the seller has to sell his beloved DB7, he’s happy to offer it with no reserve, so it’ll be going to a new home after the very first bid has been placed.

If you’ve ever lusted after a DB7 (and who hasn’t?), this is the time to put your money where your dream is.
