The DB7 saved Aston Martin. Launched in 1994 after Ford’s acquisition of the company, it was the first Aston produced in significant volume and the car that brought the brand back from the brink of extinction. It was also based on a Jaguar XJS platform, which purists have never entirely forgiven.
The Range
The original DB7 used a supercharged 3.2-litre straight-six producing 335bhp; essentially a modified Jaguar AJ6 engine. The Vantage of 1999 replaced this with a 420bhp 5.9-litre V12 developed from two Ford Duratec V6s joined at the crank. The V12 is the better car in every respect: smoother, faster, and more befitting of the Aston badge. Around 7,095 DB7s were built across both variants, making it the most numerous Aston Martin up to that point. Available as a coupe and Volante convertible.
What Goes Wrong
The supercharged six-cylinder cars suffer from failing Eaton supercharger nose-cone bearings, oil leaks, and electrical gremlins. The V12 is more reliable but the coil packs fail regularly and replacement is expensive. Rust attacks the sills and the floor around the footwells. The interior trim, while beautiful when new, deteriorates faster than you would expect at this price point. The DB9 that replaced it was a completely new car on a bespoke platform, leaving the XJS origins behind.
