• 22 service stamps with Stratstone Aston Martin and Chiltern Aston Centre
• Just two former registered keepers, current owner since 2009

The Appeal

The DB7 Vantage Volante sits at the top of the DB7 range, combining the 6.0-litre V12 with the pleasure of open-air grand touring. To find one specified with the six-speed manual gearbox is a genuine rarity; the overwhelming majority were delivered with the automatic, making a manual Volante particularly prized among Aston Martin enthusiasts.

This example has covered just 21,472 miles from new across three registered keepers, the most recent of whom has owned the car since 2009. It benefits from 22 service stamps from Stratstone Aston Martin and Chiltern Aston Centre, and arrives with a thorough supporting history file. Both keys, all handbooks, the original radio with its own handbook, and the original tonneau cover, which reportedly fits as intended, all accompany the car.
