This time capsule is the only one in Ukraine. It is a rare Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Volante that had been collecting dust for years in an underground parking in the capital. The picture shows a fresh Rolls-Royce Cullinan, suggesting that this parking is located in an elite district.
Anyway, according to the photo’s author, Roma Uracco, “this purebred Brit Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Volante had been standing forgotten in one of Kyiv’s underground parkings for many years. This car is unique in Ukraine. Under the hood is a mighty V12 engine with a capacity of 5.9 liters, delivering 420 hp. The car is from 2003, and its mileage is only 39,000 kilometers.”
The layer of dust clearly shows that the collectible Aston Martin indeed stood still for a very long time, as did the abandoned Porsche sports car from the 90s in Odesa. Although several years ago, this gentleman’s British sports car was sold for $77,777.
Later, the price dropped, and at another site, the car was already asking for over 50 thousand dollars. This is if we are talking about the same car, as the numbers are now different.
It has been seen on the roads of Kyiv several times since 2010.
Simply put, little is known about the fate of the Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Volante in Ukraine. But there is a chance that it will get a second life and take to the roads again.

P.S. Initially, we thought it was the Aston Martin of AutoKRAZ owner Konstantin Zhevago. But no – he had another one, albeit in the same color. Specifically, an Aston Martin V12 Vanquish:
And as you surely know, it is Zhevago who owns the rarest and most expensive Aston Martin ONE-77 for 2 million dollars (initial price, now even more expensive).
