Vehicle Description


Litchfield Black (Dark Grey metallic) with Tan leather interior,
Beige Wilton wool carpeting and Black Mohair cloth convertible top,
Restored, Factory 5-speed ZF manual gearbox, Full service and
ownership histories, Converted LHD to RHD when new at the Aston
Martin Works, Newport Pagnell Works.

With the introduction of the Vantage in 1977, Aston Martins V8 was
thrust into the supercar league. The name had previously been
applied to high-horsepower versions of the DB six-cylinder cars. In
the V8s case, Vantage tune meant maximum horsepower was raised to
around 375 bhp. The V8 Vantage was readily distinguishable from the
standard production V8 by its blocked-off bonnet scoop, front
grille blanking plate, front spoiler air dam and boot lid
spoiler.

Produced to satisfy demands from the USA, the V8 Volante
"convertible" had debuted in 1978, but it was not until 1986 that
it became available in Vantage specification, which by this time
meant around 400+ bhp and 432 bhp in optional X-pack engine
specification. In this particular V8 Vantage Volantes case, it has
been uprated by R.S. Williams Ltd. 7.0 Liter Big Bore specification
which increases the already extremely potent performer to 500+ bhp
and an equal amount of torque, which surely makes this one of the
ultimate supercar convertibles the world had and has offered to the
public. A total of 166 Vantage Volantes on both RHD and LHD had
been completed by the end of production in December 1989. Not only
potent and luxurious in English bespoke fashion, but also extremely
rare.

This superb V8 Vantage Volante was originally manufactured in
left-hand drive configuration and sold new in July 1989. Aston
Martin Works documentation has confirmed that in December 1989 the
car returned to Newport Pagnell and was converted from LHD to
RHD.
