After The DB7 Prototype Was Completed In The November Of 1992, This All New Grand Tourer From Aston Martin Was Then Showcased To The World At The March 1993 Geneva Motor Show, With The Order Books Then Open For New Car Deliveries The Following September. The Dramatic Exterior Styling Came From The Perfect Partnership Between Ian Callum And Keith Helfet, With The Engineering To Be Completed By Oxfordshire Based Tom Walkinshaw Racing Under The Watchful Eyes Of The Aston Martin Factory, With The Total Package Of Sheer Elegance, Teamed With Super Car Capabilities, All Of Which Was Warmly Received By Eager Buyers And The Global Motoring Press. In The December Of 1997, After Pressure From Potential Buyers, The Aston Martin Factory Announced The Limited Production Run Of The DB7 i6 Alfred Dunhill With First Reports Being That A Total Of Just 150 Vehicles Would Be Offered At The Start Of 1998, However Despite The High Interest An Estimated Run Of Only 78 Cars Had Been Sold And Delivered, With This Figure Being The Total Sales Around The World. The Reasons For Sudden Change Of Heart From Potential Buyers May Have Been The Enormous Price Ticket Of £120,000 Or News That A Newer V12 DB7 Was On The Cards For 1999, However With This Lack Of The Original Demand, This Has Now Meant That This Model Was To Have Very Limited Numbers, Which In Turn Has Made This Widely Collectable On A Global Scale Down The Line.

Mr Wright Of Course Wanted The Ultimate DB7 At The Time, Thus Instructing Aston Martin Works To Apply The Driving & Visual Dynamic Packages And As The Cost Was In Excess Of £24,000.00 Over The Original Vehicle Price, These Options Are Viewed As Being As Rare, If Not Rarer Than The Car Itself? The Packages Consisted Of Items To Include The Aggressive Body Kit, The GT Embossed OZ Racing Wheels, The Suspension Upgrades, The Performance Exhaust And The Upgraded Brake Programme, All Of Which Changed The Look And Drive Of This Special, Now Heritage Aston Martin.
