DESCRIPTION
The song goes, "I'm just Jenny from the block" - and what a look she must have cut on that block when cruising around downtown LA in her brand new Dunhill Edition Aston Martin DB7 Volante! The rumour is that Ben Affleck bought this car as a gift for Ms. Lopez and registered it immediately in her name. Given the car has covered fewer than 15,000miles from new, it's apparent that it wasn't subjected to a life of hard-work and punishment, but if those seats could talk, well, we'd listen.
The Alfred Dunhill Limited Edition run of DB7 Coupés and Volante's were intended to run for 150 models from the production line in both left and righthand drive guise. According to some sources however, the final number of 150 were never actually achieved making this Limited Edition run even more Limited. This car is significant because not only does it come from the home of pop-star royalty, it is also numbered just #002 of the intended 150 production. Aston Martin themselves retained #001 for their own collection, so it would be impossible to acquire an earlier car.
Offered to the market now, is a low-mileage, celebrity-blessed, DB7 Volante in lefthand drive guise with automatic gearbox and in all-round fine order. Whilst it may not be necessary to say any more, we'd like to highlight that the Alfred Dunhill editions to these cars varied by carrying the name of the luxury goods brand on the instrument cluster, as well as on the seat-backs, the bespoke dash-mounted clock and of course and the numbering of the car on the sill plates, visible upon entrance and exit to and from the car. These cars also sport a special order Dunhill Silver paint finish with black hide interior piped pale grey with black Wilton carpet and additional overmats with Dunhill insignia. The car is fitted with; mesh grills, air conditioning, alloy pedals, heated front and rear screens, heated electric seats, adjustable steering column, electric colour coded mirrors and pale grey Alcantara head lining. It sits on 18" multi-spoke alloys finished in gunmetal grey with its original Aston Martin centre caps.
Originally a Californian car, it is accompanied by leather-bound Aston Martin Alfred Dunhill DB7 Owner's Guide and is sold with C&E 386 showing EU taxes paid. Currently unregistered in the EU this car can reasonably be shipped to any destination in the world upon a successful sale.
