THE ASTON MARTIN DB7 VANTAGE

Introduced in March 1999, the DB7 Vantage was an exciting new model powered by a state-of-the-art, all-alloy V12 engine - a 'first' for a production Aston Martin. This 6-liter, quad-cam, 48-valve unit produced 420bhp and 400lb/ft of torque while meeting all current and projected emissions regulations. There was a choice of two alternative transmissions: a new six-speed manual or ZF Touchtronic five-speed automatic with manually selectable ratios. A top speed of 185mph was claimed for the Vantage Coupe.

The existing six-cylinder DB7 bodyshell was re-engineered to accommodate the new V12 engine/transmission package, resulting in a stiffer structure exceeding all contemporary crash test requirements, while the suspension was developed specifically for this new model. The 18" diameter wheels too were unique to the Vantage, which also featured cross-drilled and ventilated Brembo brakes equipped with ABS.

Notwithstanding all the DB7 Vantage's high-tech attributes, its makers had not lost sight of customer expectations of what constituted an Aston Martin. Thus, the Vantage's hand crafted interior featured traditional Connolly hide upholstery and could be trimmed and equipped to individual customer requirements. All the usual luxury fittings came as standard, while clients could choose from an extensive list of options.

THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

This beautiful example was purchased new by the seller from Cole European Aston Martin in Walnut Creek, California. The car has remained in Northern California its whole life up in the winding roads of the Carmel Valley and Monterey Bay. Always garaged, covered, and well maintained, the happy owner essentially used the car for leisure, weekend drives, and trips to the golf course. Good use was made of the golf umbrella included with the car.
To be used as a daily driver or as a weekend driver, this exciting Aston Martin DB7 Vantage is ready for a new owner and new adventures.
