1998 DB7 i6 Volante Immaculate in Rolls Royce blue. For Sale



I have owned this car for about 8 years now and I have driven it regularly. It has never missed a beat in that time.
The overall condition is really excellent, with a very clean and tidy interior, very slight signs of use (not wear, call it "patina"!) on the driver's seat (Obviously - I have to sit somewhere!).
The original owner also had a Rolls Royce which was finished in "Peacock Blue" and he liked it so much he paid goodness knows what to have his DB7 built in the same colour. I can see why.... it has a depth which you could almost swim in and the body contours are highlighted beautifully! The paint finish is unblemished under umpteen coats of Maguiars' very expensive wax! (Brilliant stuff)

(SKIP NEXT BIT - IT'S FOR FELLOW "ANORAKS"!)
When I set out to buy myself a DB7 I knew exactly what I wanted. Up to my retirement I was an automotive development engineer specialising in forced induction (turbos and superchargers). It was to my mind a given that 6-odd litres of V12 would have the engine running on a nearly closed throttle 90% of the time. So, what is the point of designing an engine which has a high compression ratio and all that good stuff to then strangle it until the effective ratio is about the same as a 1930s Austin Seven?

The i6 (In-line 6) engine, however, at "only" 3. 6 litres at least runs at a half respectable pressure on an open road cruise and a wholly respectable pressure when the accelerator is pressing the carpet.
("ANORAK" BIT OVER!)
Ian Cullum in my book designed one of the most perfectly balanced and quietly understated cars, second only to the E Type Series 2. As with the E Type, though, subsequent styling tweeks did it no favours at all (IMHO!)

It is generally accepted that by 1998 the DB7 was thoroughly sorted and build quality peaked at that time. Interestingly, these were actually built in a Rolls Royce factory at Bloxham. The first owner took advantage of this when he had his car finished in RollsRoyce paint.
I admit that I am smitten, too...... Yes, that is more Rolls Royce Peacock Blue parked on my drive!

Why am I selling it? Well, I seem to have accumulated too many cars and I am under the cosh to de-fleet!

Please give me a ring or email to come any time you like! I PROMISE you you will love it!
