Aston Martin DB7 Manual

One of two Aston Martin DB7 cars in our sale today, this Dubonnet Red example dates from 1997 and is a very rare five-speed manual gearbox model. A real delight for the more sporting driver, the manual box allows you to make best use of the mountain of mid-range torque available from the 335bhp supercharged engine. Other performance upgrades include a sports exhaust with a spine-tingling bark and split rim alloy wheels.

This car has only covered some 48,500 miles from new and apparently comes with a full service history although, at the time of cataloguing, we had not had chance to inspect this. Currently on SORN but due to have a fresh MOT before the sale, this is the kind of car that will have you leaping out of bed early on a Sunday morning just to go for a blast on your favourite country road. Although some 7,000 DB7 cars were made in all, just 1,567 were six-cylinder coupes and only a handful of these had the manual gearbox, making this a rare bird indeed that is sure to become very collectable.
