RE: Aston Martin DB7 | The Brave Pill

[rainmasterb]

Still one of the best-looking cars ever made in my eyes, and much nicer than the later Vantage.

My dream garage has one of these in - i6 body, Vantage engine, manual box and completely customer interior.

Jeremy Clarkson once described the DB7 as the best-looking man-made object ever...…...in the world.

Thats not the best looking one, they can look a lot sexier than that, really doesnt need a body kit.

However, zero want as I know it would be expensive to run, not that fast and has a pretty ropey interior, with all the neediness that older cars tend to have.

Needs two more cylinders.

For less money with fewer miles and two more cylinders you can get a much newer SL55.

Is there a difference with the early I6 headlights and the later cars?

Interested - tell me more .

No difference in the lamps, they are all the same throughout production. The first gen Vanquish was almost identical also, just with a different lens, bezel and housing again to create a new shape.

Don't forget that design is based around the stillborn XJ41 and 42 F type. That was designed by Keith Helfet. Callum was not solely responsible. Some say he basically turned the F type into an Aston.

I'd also love a V600 but they're many multiples the amount of cash and by all accounts absolute rubbish.

Hearsay. Inadmissible.
