Aston Martin DB7: Spotted - Pistonheads.com
Although often cited as the best example of market forces around the used car market often baffles the casual observer. It's the best part of a decade since the Aston Martin DB7 dropped through the £20K barrier and ever since then we've been told that they can't fall any further and values are likely to take off soon. And it's entirely possible that it never will, with the large number of early DB9s priced in the low-to-mid 30s seeming to act as brake on the values of the less desirable versions of the DB7. Which is why we're categorically not suggesting you... No, you should look at this DB7 as being exactly what it is - the cheapest way to get yourself into what remains, more than two decades after it was introduced, one of the finest-looking British sports cars ever produced. It's no exaggeration to say that the DB7 was the car that saved Aston, and certainly the one that set it on course to become the company it is today. By the early 1990s the brand, although owned by Ford, was building diminishing numbers of ultra expensive GT cars. The DB7 was designed to find a whole new audience, but was designed and engineered on a shoestring budget by TWR around a heavily revised version of the Jaguar XJS platform.
