1996 Aston Martin DB7 i6 3.2 Auto IMPORTANT UPDATE SOLD

UPDATE 17 SEPTEMBER

The car has now been FIXED and is up and running. The fault was traced to water damage in the ECU which has been sent away and repaired. The wiring has also been modified to get around the problematic retro fit alarm. As it now runs I will put it in for an MOT ASAP. The price has been revised to accommodate this significant development.

To be completely open I leave the below description of the car for those who already enquired.

Thank you to anyone who previously bookmarked this advert. After being viewed by a potential buyer and having been given an honest appraisal of the car I wish to update the listing.
The car is currently in a sorry state due to the lack of time available to get to the bottom of the fault, the mot is running short, and the paint has deteriorated from the dealer shine it arrived with to show how bad it really is.
The interior is in several pieces - part of the dash, rear console removed to access the myriad electrical objects lurking within.
I’m now completely devastated by this brief saga of Aston ownership, so I’m cutting my losses and putting it up as a project for someone else to explore and hopefully make good.
I will listen to five figure offers for the car as is. It’s not at home it’s at a local garage where it can be inspected by mutual arrangement.
I have the V5 and all paperwork in my name.

For transparency I’ve retained the original text below but please take the pictures with a pinch of salt, they are from when I bought it in March this year.



My bucket list car!

1996 Aston Martin DB7 3. 2 Auto
64000 miles approx
Some history
Mot Oct 2019
Solid British Racing Green with piped magnolia leather
Factory CD changer/ stereo
Good tyres
Recent brake pads
Lovely sounding engine, auto box works well
No untoward noises
I have available a recent full health check report from HR Owen and have dealt with the MOT items mentioned on the report. This includes front drop links, wishbone bushes x8, new rear radius arms.
The paint is not up to AM standard in places but it still looks great.
Low owners

The bad news-
I’ve had a few instances of being stranded by an immobiliser fault. This is intermittent. When it goes it is fantastic and a joy to drive but I’ve not been able to get this fault isolated and cured, hence selling as a project. It’s currently partly stripped down (interior) after having a local classic garage look into it but it’s stumped me and with a heavy heart I wish to let someone else have a go. It has never broken down on me, but in three occasions has failed to start.
I am certain I can get the car running to prove the mechanicals but please take all the above into account.
This is the prettier early style DB7 with a Pre-airbag interior.
The cherished plate D8 TWR is included. You can see the original plate in the photos.

Please contact me for further details, the car is located near M4 J12.

Offers over £10000 considered. I may possibly be interested in a part exchange for an interesting British classic, particularly a Rover SD1 V8 or P5B, or a V8 MG or Rover 75.
