DESCRIPTION
There must be an interesting story to go with the Matchbox Aston Martin DB7. The regular series, #59-J was only produced for one year, 1994. The following year it was replaced in the 1-75 series. Why would so popular a car be produced for so short a time? Were licensing problems to blame? In 1997, it re-appeared as one of the Premier Edition cars, series 10, #6. It was also offered as an earlier World Class car, #37, in 1994. One other variation of the regular series car was offered as one of a 25 pack selection. This example has 'DB7' in silver on the same dk. green as #59-J.
