Chassis No: SCFCV81VXJTL15624

Nothing can quite prepare you for the first time you come across an Aston Martin Vantage Volante! Stunning from every angle, they represent the pinnacle of decades of hand-assembled Aston Martin production. True craftsmanship shows itself in every detail and the stunning combination of beauty, luxury and power is as rare today as it was when this car first saw the light of day.

With the introduction of the Vantage specification, Aston Martin's V8 was thrust back into the supercar league. The name had previously been applied to high-power versions of the DB six-cylinder cars. As in Rolls-Royce motor cars fashion the factory chose not to disclose the actual figure, merely claiming that power was 'adequate'. Chassis changes were minimal apart from the adoption of bigger ventilated disc brakes all round and low profile Pirelli tyres on Ronal Wheels. The Vantage was, nevertheless, readily distinguishable from the standard product by virtue of a front chin spoiler and lipped boot lid.

This particular Left Hand Drive example with the desirable automatic transmission was delivered new on the 5th May 1988 to Mr Harry C Taub. The vehicle is finished in flawless deep Black, with a Black Everflex hood and a contrasting natural Tan Connolly hide interior. Offered complete with a comprehensive Service history and accordingly stamped service book together with the cars original owners' handbook; this stunning example has covered a mere 16,600 miles since new.

These Aston Martin Vantage Volante's are fast appreciating in value and rarely come available for sale.
