2001 Aston Martin DB7 Convertible

This car is offered from outside of the European Union. It has been imported under temporary admission customs bond and is therefore subject to Dutch import tax (9%) on top of the winning bid price. Cars less than 30 years old will pay 10% Dutch import tax plus 21% VAT on the hammer.

The winning bidder will receive a receipt for the final hammer value, as their proof of purchase.

This vehicle has been on static display for a number of years and the documented history available is limited to that displayed in our photography section.

We have not tried to drive the car, and cannot vouch for its mechanical viability or functionality.

It will require recommissioning prior to road use and is sold ‘as seen’.

The odometer reads just 3,727 kms.

In common with many vehicles from the vendor’s collection, the car comes with no history or service records.

With the proviso that we haven’t tried to start or drive this car and can therefore only comment on its cosmetic condition, we think this LHD auto DB7 Volante is in very good overall condition.

We believe it entered the vendor’s collection in 2020.

The car starts and runs, but clearly needs a full service and recommission before being used properly.

The silver paintwork is very good overall and the bodywork is free of any significant dents, bumps, folds or creases.

The wheels are in top condition, as are most of the exterior fixtures and fittings, although some of the plastic trim is a little faded in places.

There are some scuffs and marks around the ‘nose’ of the car below the bonnet.

There are a couple of scratches on the boot lid, a paint chip on the edge of the driver’s door and a small scratch at the front end of the sill beneath the driver’s side indicator.

The black fabric hood is in excellent condition, fits snugly and opens and closes as it should.

The windows on the driver’s side are not currently working.

The interior of the car is in equally impressive overall condition, although it does need a good clean.

The cream leather seats are very good and their condition is far more a reflection of the car’s low kilometres than its age.

The roof lining, although mostly fine, has a small hole towards the rear.

There is a small scratch on the veneer insert on the driver’s door – elsewhere, though, the veneers are undamaged and glossy.

A section of the dashboard trim under the passenger air bag is not flush with the rest of the panel.

The carpets are in good order, as are the mats, which are still in their protective plastic covers.

We can’t vouch for the functionality of instruments, dials, buttons, knobs, switches or levers because we haven’t started or driven the car.

The boot is fine and contains a space-saver spare wheel and an Alpine CD-changer.

The boot lid struts don’t keep the lid open.

Everything in the engine bay seems to be in its right and proper place.

The undersides of the car appear to have plenty of structural integrity.

This car doesn’t come with any history or service records beyond what is shown in the photography section.

It must be registered in the country of your choice and you will need to contact the appropriate vehicle licensing agency for instructions on how to do this.

None of the paperwork shown in the gallery in any way constitutes any kind of licensing or registration certification.

We think this is a good, very low kilometres example of both the marque and the model – and one that appears to have been well looked-after throughout its life.

If this car proves to be dynamically and functionally as strong as it is aesthetically, then it has the potential to be a very desirable Aston Martin DB7 Volante indeed.

We’re confident to offer this fine car for auction with an estimate of €15,000 - €25,000.
