An Aston Martin once owned by the music legend himself, Sir Elton John, is heading to auction. The 1995 DB7 will be offered for sale by H&H Classics on Wednesday, April 9th, at the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, Cambridgeshire.
Sir Elton was the car’s first owner, and the vehicle comes with its original warranty card in his name, along with a copy of its first V5 document. With an estimated value of £23,000-£27,000, the car has had just two subsequent owners since Sir Elton and has only covered 14,500 miles from new.
“Sir Elton John clearly has a very good taste in cars as the DB7 is regarded as a modern masterpiece.
John Markey, motorcar specialist at H&H Classics
“This desirable 5-speed manual transmission example is low mileage and finished in the eye-catching British Racing Green paintwork, so we expect there to be a lot of interest from fans of Sir Elton John and car lovers alike. As well as looking amazing, the DB7 boasts top performance figures and could easily reach over 160mph. This is a cosseted example, which means that after 20 years it is still standing and would be a great addition for enthusiasts wanting to own a car with celebrity appeal.”
The car includes an upgraded Alpine stereo system with a 6-stack CD changer and a high-powered Alpine V12 amplifier, a custom addition requested by Sir Elton himself. Other features include a Motorola car phone in the centre console, heated front seats, cruise control, and Aston Martin Stage 1 stainless steel rear exhausts.
The auction will be open for public viewing at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford, from midday on Tuesday, April 8th, and from 9am on the day of the sale, with bidding starting at 1pm. Buyers can bid in person, online, via telephone, or by placing a commission bid.
