Aston Martin DB7: The Complete Story

Exactilly what I was looking for. However if you are in a hurry, don't order here.

This is a really excellent book on one of the most important Aston Martin cars. The DB7 was at the time the most produced Aston Martin ever, and led the way to the models in production now. This book reminds me of Philip Porter's great book on the Jaguar XK8, as it is a highly detailed examination of a single model. Andrew Noakes had the benefit of talking with the DB7's designer, Ian Callum, and his inclusion of numerous anecdotes from Callum add a lot to the story. The DB7 is considered one of the all time most beautiful car designs, and Callum was directly responsible for this. This book is a must for any Aston Martin enthusiast.

This is the only affordable book on the DB7 that I could find. Although it gives the reader a nice history of Aston Martin and how the DB7 was created it still left me wanting more. He calims there were over 7000 DB7's built between 1994 and 2004. He doesn't give a year by year production figure. Nor do we know how many were sold in GB, how many were sold in North America and Europe. The author claims there were 20 standard colors available to pick from but never shows or lists the colors. Yes, I am aware for an extra cost you could order a DB7 in any color you want. There was no mention of the options available and how many were ordered. I understand he had access to the AML factory files and can't understand why accurate sales figures were not included. Also why did he cover the DB9? It just confused the issue and should have been left for another book.

Much collective wisdom if one is interested in or owns and Aston DB7.

Good book about perfect car. Very interesting and well written. Waiting for updated version of this book. Thank you very much.

Excellent coverage of this often misunderstood model. More than just a 'Jag in drag', the DB7 is the last of pre-bureaucrat designs.[...]

Aston Martin DB7: The Complete Story - A Great Story About A Great Car It's Design Process & It's Engineering To Production A Beautiful Car & A Life Cycle Which Lasted 10 Years

An excellent and factual description of a beautiful car with some very interesting details. There are other very much more expensive books which most enthusiasts will already have and these give dates and production details but this gives the facts on the development and dispels the stupid comments about a Jag in drag or simply it being a Ford.

A great book for a friend who had just bought a DB7. He loved it. Would recommend this to others.

A comprehensive history

Excellent book
