If you want an Aston without the potential problems of running a ‘classic car’ then you will not be surprised that the 6 cylinder DB7 is now very affordable both to buy and to run. Believe it or not, the early 94 and 95 cars are now regularly advertised at affordable prices – a bit of haggling by you could net a real supercar bargain! Volantes are only a little more expensive as they are only slightly rarer than the coupe. Autos and manuals were built in roughly equal numbers so you should be able to find a car that is just right for you. V12 Vantages are also now plentiful but I must warn you that V12 running costs are significantly higher than the i6. It is a very sophisticated car and very thirsty too.
