1997 Aston Martin DB7 Volante - Driving Dynamics Package

Taking the DB7 to the next level with the factory-fitted Driving Dynamics package. Finished in what's thought to be Solent Silver Metallic, the paintwork presents well. There are some minor stone chips in keeping with the mileage. The images are taken from a range of angles to show the car as you would see it in person, so please take the time to fully assess the high-resolution photos and videos before forming your own opinion of the paintwork. Walking around the Aston, the bodywork is in excellent condition, with no dings or dents spotted. There is the obvious Driving Dynamics body kit fitted, which is still in good shape. The only area which does show signs of age is the lower front spoiler, which appears to have been caught by a kerb at some point and has split it. The black fabric roof is in excellent condition and operates correctly, going down and up within the allocated time. We've highlighted our observations in more detail through our high-resolution images and videos, so please take the time to look through all the media files for a detailed view of what’s on offer and to assess the condition of the car for yourselves. The black leather dashboard is in good condition, with no obvious scuffs to point out - we did notice a small piece which had lifted against the windscreen. The instruments are working correctly, with no warning lights displayed, and the odometer shows ~63,020 miles at the time of our visit. Take the words 'effortless grand tourer', and you have the Aston Martin DB7 Volante, combining its smooth 3.2-litre supercharged straight-six with a beautifully refined and comfortable cabin. The automatic gearbox suits its relaxed character, while the rear-wheel-drive layout provides a rewarding connection to the road when the opportunity arises. Lower the roof, settle into the leather seats and enjoy the rich engine note, elegant styling and unmistakable sense of occasion that comes with driving an Aston Martin. The windows are in good condition, with no noticeable scratches; the seals are also in good order. The headlights are undamaged; one fog light lens cover is missing, and both rear lights are in good condition, with no splits or cracks. Please view the photos and video below to review the condition of the glass and trim for yourself. The original 12-spoke alloy wheels are in excellent condition, with no damage noted to the faces or lips. The centre caps are also in good order, with no corrosion; we did notice a minor amount of water ingress to the badges. A matching set of Falken tyres is fitted, all of which have plenty of tread remaining. Please take the time to review the photos and videos for a detailed view of the exterior, wheels and tyres, so you can make your own assessment of their condition. Tyres are a key safety item, and you should consider replacing any that are cracked, perished, unevenly worn or over 10 years old. The electric and heated seats are in excellent condition for their age; there is a small amount of colour wear on the driver's bolster, but it could easily be recoloured. Throughout the car, the carpets are clean and tidy, with no signs of heavy use. Inside the boot, the spare wheel is in place, along with the original tools, compressor and Alpine CD multichanger. Turn the key and the Aston fires up without hesitation, bringing the 3.2-litre inline-six to life and sounding fantastic thanks to the Driving Dynamics Performance exhaust, which was fitted as part of the package. The car runs as it should, with no issues reported by James. Fitted with an automatic gearbox, the DB7 performs well and pulls strongly through the gears, which change smoothly. The switchgear appears in good condition, with very few signs of age to the lettering, and is said to all be working correctly, apart from the radio which Jame told us can be intermittent, working 2 out of 10 times, he is also unsure if the air conditioning is working. The lock on the driver's door doesn't work and central locking can't be operated from the driver's door. An upgraded Alpine head unit has been installed, which is connected to the boot-mounted CD multi-changer. Several invoices are included, which tally with the service history stamps shown in the original owner's manual folder. The most recent service was carried out in February 2025 at 62,902 miles. The most recent MOT is valid until the 22nd March 2027, and it passed with no advisories. With just over ~63,000 miles and a great service history, this rare and desirable Driving Dynamics-packaged Supercharged Aston Martin DB7 is perfect for any enthusiast looking for that special DB7 that stands out from the rest. We’ve carried out our usual seller checks, including photo ID and V5 verification, as well as a history check on the vehicle. This is a professional HPI check that will highlight if the car has previously been stolen, recorded as being involved in an accident or has any outstanding finance. Please note, this does not include a mileage history check. We’ve summarised our own view of the car based on information provided by the seller; however, as you can see, we go to great lengths to photograph and video each car in high-resolution detail, so you can make your own assessment from the comfort of your home. So please sit back, have a cuppa and take your time reviewing everything in this listing. Viewings are also welcomed on all our listings. Please get in touch to arrange a suitable time; we just need to speak to you first and receive valid photo ID before confirming. If there’s anything you’re unsure about, no matter how small, please ask the owner in the comments section before placing your bids, as bids cannot be retracted and form a binding contract if you win the car, just like at a traditional auction house. On the road, the car handles as you would expect, with no knocks or bangs coming from either corner. The DB7 soaks up the road nicely without being harsh, yet still handles a spirited drive with ease. Pressing the brake pedal feels reassuring as the car comes to a stop in a straight line. The original leather steering wheel is in good order, with no real signs of excessive use to the rim or buttons. The same can be said for the leather gear selector, which just has some light shining. Please see the interior gallery for more detailed images.
