Aston Martin DB7 Volante 5.9 V12 Vantage Touchtronic 2002
General description :
This was absolutely the top model. In 2002 Aston Martin did not have any models in its range that came close to this Aston Martin DB7 5.9 V12 Vantage Volante Touchtronic. It was the most luxurious, exclusive and fastest Aston Martin of its day. In our subjective opinion it is also the most beautiful one of the bunch, especially in its brilliant “Antrim Blue” metallic paint with full red-leather interior trim. The car simply radiates understated elegance. It just shouts British class. The car was supplied by Kroymans importer in 2002. The Aston Martin DB7 was the first model designed by Ian Callum. In over 25 years since she debuted we can not come to any other conclusion that the Aston Martin DB7 design has not aged. Over and above the car’s lovely lines, the quality of this specific example is certainly worth mentioning. The bodywork is perfect. The pristine bodywork has lovely thin and correctly aligned panelwork. The mainly original paintwork is in a very good state. It is often the little things that show the car has been lovingly owned. For instance just admire the wonderful condition of the blue piped red leather or the four wheels that are completely free from any curb scuff marks. The carpets are also in wonderful condition and, of course, the electric hood is perfect. The 5.9 litre V12 is the star of the show. The engine delivers an enormous 542 Nm at 5,000 revs and 414 PS at 6,000 revs. The V12 engine runs silky smooth, the true tech person also knows a 60 degree V12 engines run so smoothly because they have a perfect configuration in order to avoid vibration and that 12 cylinders guarantee always 3 cylinders are in power stroke. Put plainly there is nothing a smooth as a good V12. This enormous power plant takes the DB7 from 0 to 100 km/hr 5.2 seconds with a top of 266 km/hr. For most of its life the car was maintained by Kroymans and more recently by specialist engineers. We could readily notice the good mechanical care equalled the care afforded to its exterior. The car’s lovely supple drive is down to correct use during its life. Cars that have stood idle simply tend not to be that pleasant to drive. Finally this Aston Martin DB7 has a number of nice accessories such as the. wind breaker, the Becker Sat-Nav, air-conditioning, electric seats and a CD exchanger. This is a unique opportunity to purchase 2002’s most beautiful car in the finest colours. Gallery Aaldering is Europe’s leading Classic Cars specialist since 1975!

About Aston Martin
Aston Martin, one of Britain's best known sports car manufacturer, was founded in 1913 by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford. During its chequered financial history the company has had numerous owners taking over the company, Sir David Brown just to mention one.
Between the wars Bertelli was both technical director and designer of all new Aston Martins, thus known as "Bertelli cars". These included the 1½-litre "T-type", "International", "Le Mans", "MKII" its racing version, the "Ulster", and the 2-litre 15/98 and its race going derivative, the "Speed Model".
During the war years the company produced aircraft components.
In 1947, Aston was purchased and thus saved by Sir David Brown. The company also acquired Lagonda the same year for its 2.6-litre W. O. Bentley-designed engine. Both companies shared resources and workshops creating the iconic "DB" series of cars. In 1950, they presented the DB2, followed by the DB2/4 in 1953, the DB2/4 MkII in 1955, the DB Mark III in 1957.
DB4 with its strong Italian flavor and construction was introduced in 1958. The lightweight superleggera (tube-frame) body was designed by Carrozzeria Touring in Milan. Although the design and construction techniques were Italian, the DB4 was the first Aston to be built at the company's Newport Pagnell works in Buckinghamshire, England. The six-cylinder engines of these cars from 1954 up to 1965 were designed by Tadek Marek. Despite initial problems with cracking engine blocks DB4 was a success that really established the make together with its later derivates DB5, of James Bond Goldfinger fame, and more civilized DB6 Grand Tourer.
With the all new model DBS in the late 60's the company went to eight cylinder configuration when it was modified to Aston Martin v8 – a sort of Gentleman's muscle car.
