1989 Aston Martin V8 Vantage

KEY FACTS This Aston Martin V8 Volante is a handsome and increasingly sought-after hand-built luxury open-top grand tourer, combining traditional Aston Martin craftsmanship with effortless V8 performance. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.3-litre V8, delivering power to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. Supplied new in France, the car was reportedly converted from left-hand drive to right-hand drive by Aston Martin within the first six months of its life.

This V8 Volante is finished in the iconic shade of British Racing Green with a green soft-top roof, over a tan leather-trimmed interior, featuring a black upper dashboard, green carpets with tan leather edging, and chrome and wood veneer trim. It rides on a set of 15-inch BBS cross-spoke alloy wheels fitted with Avon Turbosteel 70 tyres. Equipment includes air conditioning, twin front driving lights, a two-spoke steering wheel, an electrically operated convertible roof, a Blaupunkt Toronto cassette stereo, electric windows, an analogue clock, Tudor gauges, and heater and ventilation controls.
