Aston Martin DB7 Submodels
The Aston Martin DB7, launched in 1994, was the car that saved the company. Developed under Ford ownership, it used a heavily modified Jaguar XJS platform and featured a timeless design by Ian Callum. Initial models were powered by a TWR-developed, supercharged 3.2-liter inline-6, offering 335 horsepower and a classic grand tourer feel.
Collectors appreciate the DB7 for its pivotal role in Aston Martin's history and its accessible price. The introduction of the DB7 Vantage in 1999, with its 5.9-liter V12 engine, significantly boosted performance and desirability. Limited editions like the V12 GT, GTA, and the ultra-rare Zagato-bodied variants are the most collectible and command the highest prices.
The market for the DB7 is mature, with an average sale price around $40,000 making it one of the most affordable ways into modern Aston Martin ownership. The wide price spectrum reflects the vast difference between neglected high-mileage cars and pristine, low-mileage special editions. Well-maintained V12 models, especially with manual transmissions, represent a strong value in the collector market.
Buying Tips
- Check for rust meticulously, especially on the front subframe, floor pans, jacking points, and around the rear wheel arches.
- The supercharged inline-6 can have timing chain and tensioner issues; the V12 is known for oil leaks and coil pack failures. A complete service history is crucial for either engine.
- Test all electronics, paying close attention to the air conditioning system, which is a known weak point, and ensure all dashboard gauges function correctly.
- Suspension bushings, particularly in the rear, are a common wear item. Look for records of replacement or budget for the work.
- Inspect the interior for sun damage, including cracked leather on the dashboard and seats, and peeling lacquer on the wood trim.
Prices range from $3,400 for project cars to $265,000 for top-spec, low-mileage examples.
