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.
Exterior and Interior
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.
Engine
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.
The 2000 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Coupe represents one of the most elegant grand tourers of its era, combining classic Aston Martin proportions with the added performance of the V12-powered Vantage specification. Showing 28,982 miles, this example is finished in Bowland Black over a Charcoal and Light Grey Connolly leather interior and is equipped with the especially desirable 6-speed manual transmission. Factory highlights include carbon fibre veneer, a heated front windscreen, electrically controlled front seats with adjustable lumbar support, and even an umbrella holder with golf umbrella. With its hand-finished cabin, naturally aspirated V12, and manual gearbox, this DB7 Vantage offers a distinctly analog take on British grand touring.

Showing just 11,528 miles, this exceptionally low-mileage example has been driven sparingly and carefully preserved. With its hand-built craftsmanship, luxurious cabin appointments, and effortless V12 performance, this DB7 offers collectors and enthusiasts the opportunity to own a modern Aston Martin that embodies the brand’s classic grand touring philosophy.

This 2003 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Coupe is finished in sophisticated Stronsay Silver over a Black leather interior and shows just 27,651 miles on the odometer.

Equipped with the desirable 6-speed Touchtronic automatic transmission, premium audio system, and rich Burr Maple wood interior trim, this DB7 delivers the refined driving experience expected from one of Britain’s most iconic automotive marques.
The 2005 Aston Martin DB9 Coupe is one of those grand tourers that still feels special before the V12 even comes to life. Showing 40,167 miles, this example is finished in Tungsten Silver over a Black Cherry interior and pairs Aston Martin’s 5.9L naturally aspirated V12 with a 6-speed Touchtronic II automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The cabin has been given a far more bespoke character through diamond-quilted Alcantara seat inserts, an Alcantara headliner, Alcantara-wrapped dashboard and steering wheel, and Aston Martin embroidered headrests, while an aftermarket touchscreen infotainment system adds a more modern interface. Outside, aftermarket wheels and a front splitter sharpen the DB9’s otherwise elegant profile. It remains very much a classic Aston Martin GT at heart—long-hooded, V12-powered, and built around effortless high-speed touring—but with a custom presentation that gives this example its own identity.

The Aston Martin Rapide S took the brand’s unmistakable grand-touring character and stretched it into a genuinely usable four-door without sacrificing the drama expected from a V12 Aston. This 2014 Aston Martin Rapide S pairs that elegant fastback shape with a naturally aspirated 5.9L V12, while its Quantum Silver finish, extensive carbon fiber trim, and red brake calipers give the otherwise understated sedan a much sharper edge. Inside, Obsidian Black upholstery, carbon fiber trim, embroidered Aston Martin wings, contrast stitching, and Bang & Olufsen audio reinforce its hand-finished luxury character. Showing approximately 25,079 miles, this Rapide S offers a compelling mix of V12 performance, long-distance comfort, and four-door practicality.
