This fantastic Aston Martin DB7 is resplendent in ultra-desirable black – a rare colour for the DB7. Complementing this is a gorgeous tan leather interior, with matching wood veneer – and a range-topping Nardi Torino wood steering wheel. Bodywork, paintwork and interior are all described by the vendor as being in ‘good’ condition (“the bodywork is virtually pristine”). It uses the classic 3.2-litre supercharged straight-six engine (described as being in ‘excellent’ condition), paired with an enthusiast-pleasing five-speed manual gearbox. The vendor says the unusual private registration is included. It has an MOT valid until the end of August 2025.

‘M888ADA’ comes with its original owner’s manual, with all receipts and no fewer than 25 dealer stamps in the service book. These comprise 15 main dealer stamps and the rest from specialists. The extensive service history portfolio even comes with the original leather-bound wallet, while the car comes with two keys. Recent work includes new suspension in 2023, plus a professional refurbishment of the rear brakes, and some expert spot-welding on the floorpan. “It has been kept in a garage and only used over the summer for most of its pampered life.” The vendor adds that there is some wear on the driver’s seat bolster, “as to be expected, but I have been told that this is easily restorable”. HPI records show this car was recorded as a write-off in 2005, but it was fully repaired and has been used extensively since then.

The Aston Martin DB7 was launched in 1994 as a turnaround car for the famous British brand. Famously designed by the legendary Ian Callum, it was derived from a modified version of the Jaguar XJ-S platform. Legend has it the car was originally designed to be a Jaguar replacement to the XJ-S, called the F-Type, but Tom Walkinshaw’s TWR stepped in when Jaguar’s then-owner Ford abandoned the project. Enthusiasts value the early straight-six versions, using a supercharged AJ6 engine, while later cars gained an Aston Martin V12. All Aston Martin DB7 were produced by TWR at a facility in Bloxham, Oxfordshire – the same facility that earlier produced the Jaguar XJ220.

In summary:

• Aston Martin DB7 straight-six in rare black and tan
• Comes with unusual private registration
• Comprehensive service history includes 25 service stamps
