A 2000 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Coupe with just 13,000 miles is set to cross the block at the 80th Biannual McCormick’s Palm Springs Auction, where it will be offered to the highest bidder.
Consigned for sale as Lot No. 270, the car is scheduled to run around noon during the weekend auction. The vehicle has already been committed to the event and cannot be purchased prior to the sale. It has passed California emissions testing and will be available for in-person bidding, with phone bidding arrangements offered in advance.
Originally carrying a base manufacturer’s suggested retail price of approximately $155,000, the DB7 Vantage represented the flagship of Aston Martin’s lineup at the turn of the millennium. Power comes from a 5.9-liter V12 engine designed by Ford’s Cosworth division, producing 435 horsepower. The engine is paired with an automatic transmission, delivering smooth acceleration and grand touring capability befitting the marque’s reputation.
Finished in Chiltern Green, the coupe presents with recently buffed and hand-waxed paint. The exterior is complemented by 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped in performance tires and four-wheel disc brakes. The car has reportedly been garage-kept throughout its life.
Inside, the cabin features green and tan Nappa leather upholstery, power-adjustable seats, telescoping steering, automatic climate control and cruise control. Additional amenities include a Becker Hi-Fi audio system with a six-disc CD changer, power windows, power locks and power mirrors. The original floor mats remain in like-new condition, and the sale includes factory books and quick reference guides.
According to the consignor, all systems are functioning properly, including lighting, gauges and air conditioning. The V12 engine is described as strong and responsive, with no startup noise or leaks reported. The automatic transmission shifts smoothly.
With low mileage and documented history through AutoCheck and Carfax certification, the DB7 Vantage offers collectors a well-preserved example of Aston Martin’s early 21st-century grand touring performance.
