Conditions
The queen of the English Gran Turismo and considered the most feline of the Aston Martins: the 420 hp DB7 Vantage. The DB7 was the first great commercial success of the brand. A sporty Gran Turismo with an unparalleled English elegance. The V12 version was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in 1999. As its name suggests, the novelty is related to the engine. A 420 hp 6-liter V12 with a manual 6-speed Tremec T-56 gearbox. The latter allowed you to reach 290 km/h, while in the automatic version it stopped at 260 km/h. Specifically, we present to you a version that is nothing short of amazing. First of all because it is configured exactly as in the version presented at the Geneva Motor Show, Silver Cartier interior. Then for the conditions: 1 first owner from 2001 until 2003, then an Aston Martin dealer and finally until today only 1 owner, a collector very careful about the maintenance of the car. Aesthetically it is presented in first paint except for the front bumper which has a small crack. Internally it seems to have left the factory with the Cartier leather that emanates its intense burgundy, a carpet in semi-new condition, seats and dashboard in leather without any type of cracks and signs of wear given by the driver's seat or the sun, given that the car has always been stored in a closed and heated garage. Only 59,000 real km. Maintenance has always been followed by a specialist in English cars in Turin since 2003 at regular intervals. The car will be sold with new tires. The complete folder is present. The non-existent super tax and reduced tax with historical insurance because it is complete with ASI registration with Crs in the booklet.

Curiosity
A racing prototype of the DB7 was also built to evaluate its actual racing capabilities. Designed by Andy Wallace and called the DB7 GT, it was equipped with a 3.2-liter TWR 6-cylinder engine boosted to 370 hp and weighed less than the production version thanks to the elimination of all elements superfluous to sports competitions. The engine hood was made of aluminum to further reduce weight. Despite the positive results of the tests, the project was shelved due to a cut in funding from Ford, the owner of Aston Martin at the time. Despite the closure of the project, Prodrive built a second model with the same characteristics, with the front section painted red instead of the yellow used on the first car.
