Entering the Nineties, Aston Martin was riding high on a wave of James Bond, with Timothy Dalton having driven a Vantage V8 in The Living Daylights. However, the British automaker’s lineup was looking tired and they needed a fresh offering with a new styling direction. That came in the form of 1994’s DB7, a coupe and convertible that could be had as a cruiser or a bruiser. This 1997 Aston Martin DB7 is the cruiser variant, with the smaller engine and drop-top, but has done just 44,000 miles to get here, and is a fine modern classic Aston Martin to own and drive. The seller reports that there’s a box of records and manuals included with the sale, instilling confidence that this car has indeed been given the required TLC.
Penned by Ian Callum and Keith Helfet, the DB7 was designed as a two door four seat grand tourer with a fixed roof (coupe) or convertible (Volante). This 1997 Aston Martin DB7 is a Volante variant in a shade of burgundy that like fine wine, has aged well with its tan convertible top. The wheels appear to be chrome aftermarket units with burgundy center caps to match the body paintwork. One of the distinctive aspects of the DB7 is the fact that the convertible top does not lie flush when lowered, lending it the name “Pram Top”. While this was jested upon back in the day, it’s something that’s made the side silhouette of the DB7 even more unique now. Let’s venture aboard the four seat cabin that features beige, wood trim, and red leather accents on the steering wheel and shift knob. We say four seat, but the reality is, the rear seats are better suited for children and smaller adults on shorter trips. Tech toys include climate control, electrically adjustable front seats with seat heaters, a radio cassette stereo, power windows, power mirrors and power door locks.
This 1997 Aston Martin DB7 may be the 3.2L six-cylinder cruiser rather than the 12-cylinder bruiser, but a supercharger was mounted on the in-line six at the factory itself, making for a healthy power output of 335hp, augmented by 361lb-ft of torque. That granted a top speed of 150mph, and zero to sixty in just six seconds, admirable figures when you consider that a four-speed automatic gearbox is handling power delivery to the rear wheels. This example has reportedly received a recent oil change.
Aston Martin is perhaps best known for outfitting James Bond with his wheels for that particular movie. Yes, this British sports car maker was prominently seen on the screen in Bond flicks from the Sixties, Seventies, Eighties and Two Thousands, right up to the very last one of our time, No Time To Die. Contrary to popular belief, the DB7 didn’t feature in a Bond film, but still has that Bond sense of cool about it. Made between 1994 and 2004, it was offered in coupe and convertible (Volante) forms. Today, we have a 1997 Aston Martin DB7 Volante for sale from Riviera Beach with just 26,000 miles on the clock. It’s the perfect car for a Bond aficionado, or any petrolhead, really. The car comes with a clear title as it has spent its entire life within the custody of an auto collection inside a garage. Two keys, an auxiliary battery charger and the original owner’s manual are included with the sale.
Aston Martin is one of Britain’s best-known sports car makers. Today, the brand also makes a sedan and an SUV, but for much of their existence, they’re perhaps best known for providing James Bond with his wheels. Yes, many Bond cars have been Aston Martins, so naturally, driving an Aston Martin sports car can have that iconic theme humming in your head. While the DB7 of 1994-2003 wasn’t featured in any Bond films, it’s hard to not feel like Bond when driving one, especially a V12-equipped example such as this New Hampshire-based 2003 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage that’s’ available right now. The car has traveled for under 31,000 miles in its life, and could be your ticket to driving bliss with a generous helping of suave, if you choose to buy it.
Most British cars in the world have suave to them just like the lads who build them. Abs of course, Aston Martin is one of the leading luxury auto manufacturers, with the DB7 being the most-produced Aston Martin automobile up to 2004. The Jaguar XJS platform evolved into the DB7 platform, albeit with numerous modifications. In the mid-1990s, the Aston was warmly received since the DB7 returned Aston Martin to its classic design aesthetic, which made its models some of the most exquisite vehicles ever produced. Fast forward to 2003, the DB7 was available in many flavors, including the vantage Volante version we feature here. It reportedly has only 27,362 miles on its clock and has all its maintenance up to date.
Famously introduced to the world in the 2002 James Bond film Die Another Day, the Aston Martin Vanquish represented a sort of new order for this iconic British automaker. It heralded a new era in design that would continue for well over a decade, as well as elevating the brand’s offerings into new levels of dynamic excellence. The Vanquish continues to be available with the third generation debuting for the 2024 model year. In 2012, the second generation was available, and that’s what we have here. But not just any old second-gen Vanquish, this is a 2014 Aston Martin Vanquish Centenary Edition! With its carbon ceramic disc brakes, solid Sterling Silver Aston Martin badges, logo and build plate, plus numbered sill plates that tell us this car is #22 of 100, it’s a truly special machine to get your hands on. Now, with a mere 500 miles on its odometer, its available in Birmingham, Michigan.
Vantage has been a tag that Aston Martin used to use to denote the higher-performance variants of their existing cars, such as the DB7. But in 2005, that changed when this prolific British sports car maker decided to make a model called the Vantage. That’s what we have here, a first-generation Aston Martin Vantage V8 for sale from Poquoson, Virginia. The car has got a manual gearbox, a Caspian Blue interior and only over 41,000 miles to its name. If you’d like to experience one of the finest British grand tourers from the mid to late 2000s, as well as channel a little bit of James Bond suaveness, this reportedly all-stock car is ideal.
Selecting an Aston Martin as your next vehicle shows that you are a certain sort of person. The type that appreciates British design and sports car engineering, and most likely, a James Bond fan at heart too. This iconic British automaker has had a long association with Ian Fleming’s superspy, in film at least. In the books, Bond is a Bentley man, but when the films were being produced, Aston Martin became the selected vehicle of Mr. Bond. In fact, you can find Aston Martins in over half of the Bond films produced to date. Today’s Aston Martin of choice is a 2020 Aston Martin DB11 Volante from Fort Myers, Florida. The DB11 debuted 2016 and was made until 2023, in coupe and convertible (Volante) forms. This particular example packs a twin-turbo V8 and just under 6,100 miles on the clock.
