ASTON MARTIN DB7 V12 GTA 2dr Auto (2002)

Aston Martin DB7 - Dr Yes.

I admit to owning the entire boxed set of James Bond film and also admit that this is part of the reason that I bought an Aston Martin DB7. But I reiterate that this was only part of the reason. A big part, perhaps, but if Bond drove a Citroen CZ then I wouldn't have followed suit.

The other reasons are many - just look at it and you'll want one. The looks alone are enough to justify spending silly amounts of money on it. Sleek British curvaceous beauty. But it's what's inside that counts, and what's inside is almost more impressive. Not only is it ludicrously fast and impossible smooth to handle, it's also bafflingly reliable.

The Aston Martin DB7 is not cheap. I confess to spending a lot of money on it. Money that could have been put to much better use - and the insurance is of course ridiculous. But can you really put a price on the amazing feeling you get when you cast your eyes on this beauty?
