Aston Martin DB7 'barn find' project anyone?

[bob 6600]

DB7 GTS on CAT D, needs some good cash spending on it though and unless you plan on keeping it, will be worth less than most as it is CAT D. Good point is it only has 39k on the clock

Aston Martin DB7 GTS i6 Coupe - Price £8,995 | eBay

That would be a great project/investment.
Now where can I find a spare £9k...

 

[Some guy on the internet]

Looks like a massive money pit to me.

 

[mikestrivens]

£9k to buy £100k to do up.

 

[turbopete]

too much money when theres a DB7 i6 (NOT the GTS version) for £15k! im not sure the GTS will be worth that much more but i could be wrong

Looks fine until you see the picture with the engine in pieces.

there's another engine here if you need a spare

there are a few DB7's around in decent working order albeit with much higher miles for under 20k, this looks like no bargain IMO. Presume the engine was in bits for a reason not just for fun!

thanks Pete, lost interest as soon as I saw the engine top end missing then in bits, so never picked up the reason....

Like any sale...its worth what someone is willing to pay for it, £5k max imho, considering cost of spares, labour / time + profit...and what they can be bought for in good unrecorded condition...

Except the numbers don't line up as they should, looks like they have been tampered with.

Its the wrong size engine anyway
An Aston needs the big lump
They are beautiful cars though

That rusty engine is not a good sight.
Still its better than battling with rusty bodies.

The spider seems at home in the back. Be a shame to move him/her.

Big trouble. Avoid.

 

[Benzworx]

Its a no no unless you want to keep it as its cat d and not worth the asking price

Re. the mileage, https://mot-history.net/ shows it was off the road for 4 years until its last MOT was done in Jan 2012.

Mileage records on MOTs only go back to 08/2011...

Maybe the number is already on retention but the plates have not been removed from the vehicle? Then again, if it still comes up on MOT history then it can't be....duh!
