The Aston Martin V8 Volante is one of the most desirable expressions of Aston Martin’s legendary V8 Grand Tourer. Combining the unmistakable presence of the V8 with the freedom of open-top motoring, the Volante offers a unique combination of performance, luxury and elegance. With its long bonnet, muscular lines and beautifully proportioned bodywork, the V8 Volante has become one of the most sought-after Aston Martins of its generation.

This particular V8 Volante was delivered to its first owner in England on 20 March 1985. Finished in Red with a Magnolia interior, the colour combination perfectly suits the character of this elegant open Grand Tourer. The car is powered by Aston Martin’s 5.3-litre V8 engine producing 305 bhp and is equipped with an automatic transmission.

On 15 May 1988, the Volante was sold through William Loughran to its second owner, Tony Addis. He retained the Aston Martin for several years, during which time the car remained in England. On 5 July 1995, the V8 Volante was sold to its next owner, Toni Juniper, also in England.

The history file for the car is documented from the ownership of Tony Addis onwards. An especially valuable part of the documentation is the collection of yearly MOT certificates, which provide a continuous record of the car’s mileage. The current odometer reading of 31,826 miles is therefore fully documented.
