Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Volante

The DB7 is the car that saved Aston Martin. Launched in 1993, it gave Newport Pagnell a modern, attainable grand tourer at a time when the marque's future was far from certain. Ian Callum's lines carried the elegance of the great DB cars into a new era. Furthermore, in 1999 the Vantage replaced the original supercharged six-cylinder with a 5.9-litre V12, the first twelve-cylinder engine in a series-production Aston Martin road car of the modern age. Moreover, the Volante added an electrically operated soft top without diluting the purity of the shape. As a result, an Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Volante for sale offers what many consider the most complete expression of the DB7: open-air grand touring with the sound and character of a V12.

This 2001 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Volante, offered for private sale, is finished in Pentland Green over a two-tone interior of dark green and parchment leather. It is a quietly British combination that suits the car's character perfectly. Furthermore, it carries ASI Targa Oro certification, the highest recognition awarded by the Automobilclub Storico Italiano to vehicles of proven originality and preservation. As a result, it represents a refined and properly recognised example of the open DB7 in its most desirable form.
