1999 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage

The introduction of the DB7 Vantage in 1999 recorded a number of 'firsts' for Aston Martin. For the first time a Vantage variant was getting a whole new engine of it's own, rather than just an uprated version of the standard engine such as the case with DB4/5/6 etc, and what a special engine it was. The V12 fitted to the DB7 Vantage was Aston's first 12-cylinder engine, developed in conjunction with the Ford Research and Vehicle Technology Group and Cosworth. With a 5.9L capacity and a power output of 420bhp, the V12 propelled the automatic-transmission DB7 Vantage to 60mph in 5.1 seconds on the way to a limited top speed of 165mph.

This car is one of the first DB7 Vantages produced, finished in a traditional specification of Pentland Green over a Forest Green and Parchment Leather interior. DB7 Vantages are well optioned as standard, with 18-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels and uprated suspension/braking componentry to manage the increased power output. This car is also optioned with the rare burr elm trim finish and mesh front and side grilles.

Having covered 66,557 miles documented by a full service history, this early DB7 Vantage is now ready for it's next owner. The car will be supplied freshly serviced with a 6 month warranty and 12 months MoT.
