..... especially in that ruby red colour


I thought about improving our car with a couple of body mods but it's impossible. You can't improve on perfection.
From every angle you look at the I6 - It is stunning.

There's something about red DB7's, it really suits them well.

Except for the DB7 Vantage...

What's the general consensus on where DB7 prices are going? With a V12 Vantage available for less than £20k now will prices firm up, or will they start to gain value again?

Never an easy question to answer, as there are so many variables to consider. It certainly seems that there is a degree of positive movement, at the moment, for good and or "rare" examples of this model. Whether, or not, the recent minor increase seen for good cars has been a temporary blip, related to the AML Centenary year, should become clearer next year.

At the same time, I can well imagine that there will be plenty of cases where the prices continue to fall, due to A). the vehicles condition and B). the potential costs involved when putting them right (this goes for known bodywork and mechanical problems from which they can suffer if neglected).

Interestingly, I have noted comments made by many DB7 owners, with "better" condition cars, that they have no intention of parting company with their P&J's, which may have a bearing on the prices at the top end in the future as a consequence of supply and demand.

On the question of supply and demand, it is interesting to note that we have arrived at a point in time where you can find examples of V8 Vantages and DB9's for less than some of the best "7"s". As ever, time will reveal all, although, as far as I am concerned the value of my cars is of secondary importance, I simply bought them because I love them and I am in the category of owner that won't be selling.

Nice. You got Vantage wheels on an i6?

Yes fitted by the previous owner, they do it for me.

And this is my car - Solent Silver.

Like the rear light treatment and the big bore tailpipe finishers.

Thank you - the car is fitted with a factory Sports exhaust, which sounds disgraceful.

The lights were done by Chiltern Aston very early in the life of the car and are Carello units. The similar Works conversion is a little less tidy (for some) and have separate fog and reversing lights at the base of the panel, which you could suggest clutter the car.

I love the look of the car and the rear end treatment was a factor in me buying it.

It's my first 'modern' older car and so far I love it...

...ask me if I feel the same in 6 months though!

My Stratstone DB7 Volante at Hever Castle. Only 19 of these cars were built by the factory for Stratstones of Mayfair in 1999. My car is number 1 of the 19

Here's my 2004 V12 Anniversary Edition Coupe pictured at Mudeford Quay, Near Christchurch, Dorset which sees the two rivers, the Stour and the Avon run into the sea from the beautiful Christchurch Harbour, turn left for the Isle of Wight and turn right for Poole, Swanage, Weymouth and Portland. Or should that be turn to Port, Turn to Starboard.. Apparently only 13 Coupe Anniversaries were made in celebrating the last 55 DB7's produced to mark the 10th Anniversary of building these cars, mine is NO: 23. It's finished in Slate Blue with parchment dials, Connolly leather interior blue two tone, Touchtronic and Auto gear box, doesn't have Sat Nav built in though..

Another one of Phil's great pictures!

I am not sure that the car has ever really been, or looked, as clean as this image would suggest!
