Aston Martin was founded in 1913 by Lionel Martin and Robert
Bamford. Until the advent of the DB7 which arrived on America's
shores in 1997 Aston Martin had only made about 11,000 vehicles.
Nevertheless, the company had established itself on the
international racing circuit with champion grand prix driver
Stirling Moss at the wheel winning twice in an Aston Martin at
Nurburgring from 1958 to 1960. In 1962 the beautifully designed
Aston Martin DB5 made its film debut as James Bond's specially
equipped motor car in the first of the Bond movies, Doctor No. This
helped to raise Aston Martin's profile and endow the DB5 with a
legendary status still not surpassed by any other automobile. This
well-maintained, very low-mileage Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Volante
is finished in a distinguished Dorchester Grey exterior with cream
leather hides and at a price slightly less than a new Honda Accord
V6! This limited production motor car was fitted with the more
powerful 5.9 litre, 48-valve, V12 engine which produces 420 bhp and
400 lb*ft of torque. The ZF 5HP30 five speed automatic gearbox
whisks it along from 0-60mph in 4.9 seconds reaching a top speed of
186mph. Try doing that in a Honda! This Aston Martin is in
