This attractive convertible is both exotic and practical for everyday use. This vehicle was sold new to Oprah Winfrey, ordered for her by her local Florida based Aston Martin dealer in this striking red over parchment color combination. The standard DB7 Volante is equipped with Aston’s supercharged straight-6 cylinder engine which provides 335 hp. and lb. ft. of torque. It is mated with the automatic transmission. Oprah finally decided to part with the car in 2008. There were only 200 of these remarkable machines built for this year model.
Cosmetically, the car is representative of a driver with 34,288k miles. We are not aware of any accidents or “stories” in the car’s background. The tan convertible soft top is in good condition and fits well, but has minor discoloration from weather. The interior is very nice for a 16 year-old car. The dash leather and wood is brilliant, as are the door panels. The balance of the interior upholstery is beautiful. The posh suede headliner is in excellent, unmarked condition. The car has a responsive, tight feel as you would expect of a low mileage car. Truly a unique example of a contemporary luxury sports car, the DB7 Volante can be your exotic toy while doubling as your daily driver. This particular vehicle is further enhanced by its celebrity ownership history.
Begun in England by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford in 1913, Aston Martin is known for designing stylish hand-built sports cars with highly competitive performance aspects. Aston Martin’s rich heritage of racing and specialized design has made it a worldwide icon of elegance, sophistication and rousing performance.
This Aston Martin is offered with a California title in Oprah Winfrey’s name, allowing the new owner to preserve the original Winfrey title. It also has EU paperwork to allow the new owner to transfer the vehicle overseas. A percentage of the proceeds will be given to the Ronald Mcdonald House.

AMG's partnership with Aston Martin won't extend past engines, for now
Sun, 27 Apr 2014There's been talk of late about the technical partnership between Aston Martin and the AMG division of Mercedes-Benz going beyond engines to include Mercedes sports car and SUV platforms for the English brand, perhaps as a way to kickstart the development of a Lagonda SUV. But AMG CEO Tobias Moers, speaking to Top Gear, said that's effectively out of the question because, "No one has the time to discuss any more involvement than that for now."
Moers believes Aston Martin will be so busy "for the next two to three years" integrating its AMG-sourced engine and electronics that it won't have the resources to devote to working out a platform-sharing deal; Daimler sources have already said that Aston Martin's development budget "just isn't enough" to even consider a whole new model, and that greater cooperation would require something like a larger ownership stake in the boutique sports car maker.
AMG, in the meantime, is busy with the recent launch of the GLA45 AMG, the coming C63 AMG and its rumored 4.0-liter V8, the Mercedes-AMG GT and its assault on the Porsche 911 among who-knows-what other skunkworks projects. Moers said the technical partnership is about profit for AMG, clear and simple, and, "All these rumors about platform sharing are nice but no one at Aston or Mercedes has the time to discuss them."
Maybach and Aston Martin alliance talks fall apart
Tue, 27 Sep 2011If you have, like us, been salivating at the notion of a new generation of Maybach and Lagonda ultra-luxury crafts built by Aston Martin, we've got some bad news: According to reports emanating from Germany, talks between AML and Daimler have broken down.
The proposal under negotiation would have seen Daimler outsourcing production of the next family of Maybach models to Aston Martin, which in return would benefit from Mercedes-Benz platforms and engines - not only for its svelte GTs, but also for its own future Lagonda line of limousines and luxury SUVs. That, and a boatload of money - or at least that's what AML was reportedly seeking, an issue that served as the stumbling block over which the deal reportedly collapsed.
That's not to say the two parties couldn't still reach some sort of a compromise, but short of that, Daimler may opt to either shut down Maybach altogether, find another partner, or take another stab at building new models internally.
Aston Martin and Daimler continue talks on SUV project, CEO required
Tue, 01 Apr 2014The Aston Martin Lagonda SUV concept revealed at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show didn't earn the plaudits the company is used to when it reveals new models, and it has lived an uncertain life ever since. Thought to have been scrapped along with the entire revival of the Lagonda brand, then thought to have been resurrected due to Chinese, Middle Eastern and Russian demand, another year passed before we heard more definitive talk about an Aston Martin expansion when AutoCar reported that the Lagonda could be built on one of Mercedes-Benz's AMG SUV platforms.
A report in Automotive News Europe indicates plans have gotten serious, its unnamed sources saying that the English carmaker is talking to Daimler "to extend their cooperation to building an SUV." Neither Daimler, Aston Martin nor Investindustrial, the managing partner among Aston Martin's ownership consortium, would comment. But with Investindustrial having pledged to expand the range, competitors like Bentley, Maserati and Lamborghini getting into the SUV racket and clear demand from current and future customers, it's easy to believe Aston Martin is working hard to put the pieces together.
One further potential bump on the road to an Aston SUV is the company's search for a new CEO. Ulrich Bez relinquished to top spot at the company at the end of 2013, and Aston reportedly will not finalize its model strategy without a new CEO in place.
