A 1995 Aston Martin DB7 which used to be owned by none other than Sir Elton John is auctioning now. That means if you hurry, you could potentially scoop up this celebrity-owned British luxury sports car and add it to your collection.
Wayne Gretzky’s Ford GT Heritage Edition is also for sale.
This Aston Martin makes a dramatic, traditional statement with its British Racing Green exterior, which looks to be in good condition. The same can be said for the Light Tan leather interior, with the seats showing so little wear, the 14,500 miles on the odometer seem quite accurate.
If you do choose to take this DB7 for a spin, it should be entertaining to drive. Even though the straight-six engine isn’t a roaring V8 or V12, it has an Eaton supercharger to help squeeze out 335-bhp and 360 lb.-ft. of torque, which is enough power to get this ride moving. Plus, you get to row through the 5-speed manual transmission for extra enjoyment.
Not surprisingly, the professional musician sprung for the top-of-the-line sound system at the time, an Alpine with remote control, 6-disc changer, and big Alpine V12 amp. We guess that makes up for the lack of a larger, burlier engine.
There are other luxuries onboard. Among them is a heated windshield, power-adjustable and heated front seats, and a tire compressor in the trunk. A Motorola phone in the center console is a little dated but can be a fun relic of the past.
We’re not sure how much of an impact the fact Elton John, who is a famous musician, having owned this Aston Martin will have on its market value. After all, celebrity ownership is a funny thing. Usually, it only has a big influence on price when the former owner is well-known as an automotive enthusiast, although that’s not always true.
Perhaps this ride will be scooped up by someone who just loves Elton John, although maybe here’s some huge DB7 fan out there.
