Reuniting DB7 car owners past and present. Dr Bez meets current owner Michael Holyoake at the Aston Martin Heritage Festival

We were delighted to be able to reunite Dr Bez, previous CEO and Chairman of Aston Martin Lagonda with his first ever Aston Martin at our recent heritage festival. Dr Bez was one of our special guests at the David Brown Dinner and talked fondly of this car. He was excited to learn that the car would be making an appearance at the heritage festival the following day and had actually been used as the main feature car in our promotion leading up to the event.

The current owner, Mr Michael Holyoake was kind enough to let us use the image of his car on the festival promotional flyer and attended the heritage festival as well as featuring at our festival launch photoshoot day.

This “one of one” DB7 V12 Vantage Coupe was a standout in the exclusive DB7 display area at the festival and easy to spot, being a very rare and special colour!  The colour is Rathin Red and the interior is charcoal and nubuck with rare maple facias, so a unique combination indeed.  It has lots of other “extras” including red brake calipers, optional mesh grille set, 19-inch wheels and more!

It was lovely to see the two owners, past and present, chatting over the car.
