Combining the muscular presence of Aston Martin’s legendary V8 with elegant convertible styling and traditional hand-built craftsmanship, the Volante offers a compelling blend of performance, luxury and timeless design. With its long bonnet, sculpted bodywork and beautifully appointed interior, it remains one of the most desirable Aston Martin models of its generation. Powered by the renowned 5.3-litre V8 engine producing 305 bhp and coupled to an automatic transmission, the V8 Volante delivers effortless performance and a refined driving experience. Designed for comfortable long-distance touring, it combines considerable power with the pleasure of open-top motoring. This particular Aston Martin V8 Volante was delivered new in Palm Beach, Florida, in 1986. After spending its early years in the sunny climate of Florida, the car crossed the Atlantic and passed into the hands of its second owner in France. During this period, the Volante was consistently maintained by Aston Martin Works in Gaydon, the marque’s historic factory and service centre. This connection with Aston Martin’s own specialists is an important part of the car’s documented history. In 2005, the car was acquired by its third owner, also in France. A decade later, in 2015, the Aston Martin underwent a complete repaint carried out by LeCoq, the renowned French restoration specialist. This work forms a notable chapter in the car’s subsequent history. The Volante is finished in Salisbury Blue Metallic, complemented by a Magnolia leather interior with blue piping. The exterior colour is beautifully matched by the blue mohair hood, creating an elegant and harmonious colour combination that perfectly suits the character of this open Grand Tourer. With chassis number SCFCV81C6GTL15465, the car is currently registered in the Netherlands and displays 62,816 miles on its odometer. The Aston Martin V8 Volante represents a particularly appealing era of the marque, when performance, craftsmanship and understated luxury were combined in a distinctive hand-built automobile. Its powerful V8 engine, automatic transmission and elegant convertible bodywork make it equally suited to relaxed touring and more spirited driving. With its delivery history in Florida, subsequent French ownership, maintenance by Aston Martin Works and complete repaint by LeCoq in 2015, this V8 Volante offers an interesting international history. Finished in the particularly attractive combination of Salisbury Blue Metallic, Magnolia leather and a blue mohair hood, it presents an appealing opportunity to acquire a classic Aston Martin convertible with unmistakable character and timeless British elegance.
