2001 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Volante

Description

This 2001 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Volante has been a classic from day one. After all, with an unbeatable color combo, a smoothly powerful V12, drop-top grand touring appeal, and the perfect mix of luxury & performance, this is truly the best of Britain.

Power, Beauty, Soul - it's the mantra of Aston Martin and this is the car that started it. There has always been an aggressive elegance about an Aston Martin, even before James Bond drove one on screen. But the DB7 was a leap forward into a far sleeker era that is still echoed in today's cars. That's why it's already a classic. And with this in mind, it's great to see a car like this one that has averaged only about 1,200 miles annually. Silver always seems like a great color to give this DB7 a hint of 007 cool, and the sleekness and depth of the Stornoway Silver give this the attraction of a movie star. It's all part of a well-coordinated package where the 18-inch factory alloys, grille, and well-integrated dual exhaust go well with the silver. And the headlight covers have a race-ready look that also showcases the black inserts. This coordinates with the well-fitting black convertible top. It makes for a level of thoughtful sophistication you expect from Aston Martin.

The interior is often what people cherish about an Aston more than all other exotic cars out there, and the seats show you why. Hand-stitched leather with silver piping makes this both stylish and supple. And there's plenty of real wood trim to perfectly create a premium and sporty feeling all in one package. This car costs over $250k in today's money when new, and so you can absolutely expect it to be loaded. This includes power seats, power locks, power mirrors, dual airbags, and cruise control. The radio has even been upgraded to a more modern AM/FM/CD/XM unit with Bluetooth. And because you have a power convertible top and power windows, you never have to leave the driver's seat to go from enclosed luxury to a wind-in-your-hair experience. Aston really thought of everything. That's why you have air conditioning blowing ice-cold, heated seats, and a wind deflector so that your top-down motoring experience will be comfortable in almost any weather.

The advantage of the Vantage over the standard DB7 is that you get the excellent V12 motor. The powerhouse is nestled into the sleek body so snugly, that you realize Aston snuck all the power into the engine bay they possibly could. And because this has spent its life so far as a cherished low-mileage car, everything under the hood is show-ready. But don't let this ultra-clean presentation keep you from adding miles to the odometer. After all, this convertible was built to enjoy the backroads. The V12 sings a 420 hp symphony, and the fully independent sports suspension feels telepathic as it hugs the asphalt. Plus, the power steering, a five-speed automatic transmission, sport tires, and four-wheel disc brakes with ABS give you everything you could want even in a modern sports car.

Complete with owner's manual, Aston Martin built less than 2,100 examples of the DB7 Vantage Volante for the entire world. So it will be tough to find another one with such low mileage and such nice colors. Don't miss this opportunity, call today!
