Addendum

The enduringly pretty styling of the low-slung DB7 played no small role in the grand-touring coupé proving pivotal to the Aston Martin survival story. With over 7,000 units sold, it bowed out as the most successful model up to that point in company history. Marque chief Ulrich Bez and Andrea Zagato then devised a successor to the firms’ DB4GT and V8 Zagato. The resulting DB7 Zagato gained the carrozzeria’s hallmarks of a larger front grille and double-bubble roof in addition to new taillights, a more sculptural boot lid, plus a unique five-spoke wheel design.
Unable to meet stricter homologation requirements for the United States, the DB7 Zagato’s limited run of just 99 customer examples was shared only between the United Kingdom, Europe, and Southeast Asia. Initially delivered in Aston Martin’s home country, the car offered here was built in right-hand-drive form. Configured with a six-speed manual gearbox, the 5.9-litre V-12 is rated at 440 brake horsepower for a sub-five-second sprint to 60 mph and a top speed of 190.
The Anglo-Italian bodywork was dressed in Chiltern Green paint, while the model-specific Analine leather cabin was specified in Olive Green to accompany burr walnut trim and green carpets. Additionally, the electrically adjustable, heated seats and parcel shelf were quilted.
Subsequently, the DB7 Zagato was exported to Portugal, where it was maintained by Aston Martin Lisbon. During a November 2021 service, the odometer was recorded showing 9,102 miles. Sparingly driven since, the car displayed only 9,249 miles at the time of cataloguing.
The DB7 is generously accompanied by maintenance invoices, an owner’s guide and cover specifically dedicated to this car (044/099), an Aston Martin jacket, a DB7 Zagato coffee table book and brochure, plus a two-piece fitted luggage set. The DB7 is further accompanied by a Certificate of Conformity issued by Aston Martin in 2003. Blending bold 21st Century coachwork with a more traditional colour scheme, this example of the rare DB7 Zagato would make for a wonderful curio to add to any collection.
