Sir Elton John's old Aston Martin DB7 is up for auction for between £23k and £27k

The Rocket Man was the first owner of this Nineties Aston rocket. And now it could be yours

Published: 06 Mar 2025

This lovely Aston Martin DB7 first owned by Sir Elton John is coming up for auction, and the estimate is... actually pretty reasonable considering it's a bona fide superstar's old supercar. Like, between-£23k-and-£27k-reasonable.

Yep, bought for about £80,000 back in his Made in England era, this 1995 coupe - which won't let the sun go down on it because the sun's not allowed in - was bedecked in the classic British racing green paintwork over light tan leather combo at the request of Mr Sir John himself.

The legendary musician also specced such extravagance as: a six-stack CD changer! An Alpine stereo and amplifier! A remote control for said Alpine stereo! A Motorola car phone!

You can use it to call all your friends and tell them Sir Mr John's old pinball wizard is barely run in: over 30 years, this DB7's racked up around 14,500 miles. Which means its 335bhp/360lb ft, 3.2-litre straight-six engine and five-speed manual won't go breaking your heart. No need to sing sad songs when you'll be able to reel off 0-60mph in 5.6s.

You can add yet more miles in toasty, consistent comfort courtesy of the DB7's further extravagance in the shape of heated seats, cruise control and even air-conditioning.

As is the circle of life with such things, it's now being offered to a new home via H&H Classics. Will you be the one?
