Introduced at the March 1999 Geneva Salon, the Vantage version of Aston Martin's landmark DB7 broke with marque tradition by using a wholly different engine rather than a punchier version of its sister car's existing powerplant. Breathed on by Cosworth, the newcomer's 'heart' was a 5935cc 48-valve, all-alloy V12 that developed 420bhp and 400lbft. Initially available with a choice of six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission, the DB7 Vantage could be had with ZF's Touchtronic semi-auto from 2000 onwards (0-60mph in 4.9 seconds, limited 165mph top speed). To cope with such performance, the 2+2-seater's structure, suspension and brakes were all upgraded. Asked to rework his masterpiece, stylist Ian Callum added a reshaped back bumper, more pronounced sills, combined driving lamps / indicators and horizontal bars to the radiator grille. Priced at £92,500, Aston Martin's flagship came with central locking, electric windows/mirrors, traction control, ABS, air-conditioning, front airbags, alarm/immobilizer and 18-inch alloy wheels as standard. Notable as the marque's first V12 production model, the DB7 Vantage lasted until 2003 by which time some 2,385 Coupes had been made.

First registered on the 12^th of September 2003, this example of Ian Callum’s iconic and revered DB7 design, displays some 49,500 recorded miles and has 6 former keepers recorded. Finished in Blue with a Cream with Blue leather interior, in current ownership the Aston has been the subject of mechanical work and servicing maintenance. In 2020 the car had new plugs, a coil and fluids; 2021 saw a front and rear tyre, a battery, handbrake shoes, plugs and a front coil spring, 2x injectors, rear wheel bearings, 6 new coils; a new blower motor was fitted in 2023. Offered at auction with a collection of invoices and the owner's bookpack, including the service book. Previously the subject of a Category D Insurance loss in December 2005 and subsequently repaired, the DB7 is offered with a V5C.
