Early DB7 Wheel Covers

[EdwardC]

Following my failed attempt a couple of years ago, I am still searching in vain for a set of full wheel covers (aka dustbin lids) for an early DB7.

I have been scouring ebay, tried the owners club, and rung just about every Aston spare parts supplier I could think of.

Any help much appreciated!

Hen's teeth. The last set I spotted was on eBay a couple of years ago and they went for a four-figure sum.

I'd happily pay a four figure sum if I could find some...

Hello, if you are still looking for a set of these then I do have a set from the very early (1995) DB7 that I used to own. I think it was chassis no. 131 or something like that, very early, and was originally owned by someone in Singapore (royalty of some kind, I believe) who paid for all the extras. I don't have the fixing bolts any more, so you'd have to get those made. I was going to list them on ebay, but saw your post.... If you are still interested then please let me know asap.

Seeing that EdwardC last posted on this topic a long time ago, perhaps he might never see your post.

Only a suggestion, but a Private Message to him via his Profile page might be best.

Hello I know it’s been a while since you posted this. I am the new owner of 131 and would love to hear motor about its history

Does anyone know why you never see an early DB7 running around with the OEM early dinner plate wheel trims which (IMHO) look rather smart? It is unusual for owners almost without exception to pull off a bit of original kit. That suggests to me that the factory told dealers to remove and dispose of them when cars were in for a service presumably because there was an issue with them - I can only guess that they had a habit of falling off by themselves or did not allow enough cooling to get to the brakes which then overheated/warped.
