1995 DB7 model, customized by the British singer, features exclusive sound system and only 23,000 km on the clock
One of Aston Martin’s most iconic cars is about to find a new owner — with a special bonus: it once belonged to pop music icon Sir Elton John. This is a 1995 DB7 that has just been listed in an auction organized by H&H Classics, with bids estimated between 23,000 and 27,000 euros (about $24,000).
Beyond the prestige of its former owner, the model stands out for the custom features added by the singer himself. Highlights include an Alpine V12 sound system with amplifier, remote control, and a six-disc CD changer — a luxury at the time and a reflection of Elton John’s musical sensibility.
Another feature that stands out, especially to younger generations, is a Motorola phone embedded in the center console — a status symbol among 1990s luxury vehicles. The British sports car also includes advanced features for its era, such as heated front seats and electric adjustments.
With only 23,000 kilometers driven and three previous owners, the coupé is in excellent condition. The exterior is painted in the classic British Racing Green, traditional on British tracks, while the interior features Light Tan leather, wood trim, and a right-hand drive — a typical UK configuration.
Under the hood, the DB7 houses a 3.2-liter inline-six engine with dual overhead camshafts, capable of producing 340 hp and 49.9 kgfm of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission, allowing acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds and a top speed of 266 km/h.
The auction is a rare opportunity to acquire not only a classic of British engineering but also a piece of pop music history.
