PLEASE NOTE: This Aston Martin has recently received a new MOT certificate valid until June 2025.

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 during January 2002, 'HS51 AKZ' was specified in the gorgeous colour combination of Skye Silver over a Grey and Ebony Leather interior with Carbon Fibre Veneers. Purchased by the current custodian in 2018 at c.38,500 miles, he has cherished the car and covered just around 4,000 miles and added a number of considerable maintenance bills to the file within this period. The highly regarded Aston Martin specialists Trinity Engineering of Cobham have carried out significant works with these including a full brake and drive train overhaul at 36,500 miles to the cost of some £10,000 as well as a new “Sports” exhaust system costing £3,500.

From registration through to June 2017 this DB7 Vantage was serviced solely by Aston Martin main dealers indicated by the original service booklet that the car is presented with - which displays a total of fourteen stamps up to 35,000 miles. Thereafter, there have been five further services with two of those completed by specialists AstonDB7.com. Rated as in 'excellent' condition throughout by the vendor (in regard to bodywork, paintwork, electrical equipment, engine, gearbox, and interior trim), this now very collectable Aston is well worthy of consideration.
