As a Drophead variant of the classic V8 series, the Volante combined the elegance of Aston Martin’s traditional grand touring design with the exhilaration of open-top motoring. The long wheelbase version, in particular, elevated comfort and stability and further enhanced the overall driving experience.

Description

This Volante is rather special and certainly rare, insomuch, it's just 1 of 70 cars built and actually Aston Martin Production Department's own Show car and subsequently only released by them in June 1998 to Stratstones of Mayfair, who quickly sold it later the same year.

Astonishingly, it has only covered just 7,071 miles from new.

The beautifully preserved Grampian Green paintwork contrasts very nicely with the parchment piped Forest Green leather and is topped off with a near perfect dark green mohair hood.

Renowned Coachtrimmers, "O'Rourke", have just been commissioned to make a new bespoke leather hood cover...given the cars width, a whole hide was needed and it certainly adds an extra something to the already opulent interior.

It has just been through Vantage Engieering's workshop where significant monies have been spent on a thorough and extensive re-commissioning, thus everything works correctly and it drives as it should.

We would be delighted to arrange a viewing at our Rudgwick (West Sussex) showroom, or to discuss this Aston Martin in further detail, please contact Julien Sumner on 07788 856700.
