• 1 of only 45 original LHD manual cars imported to US market and 1 of just 439 Weber-Carburettor fed V8 Volantes

​

If you are looking for a more elegant and refined V8 Volante compared to the later V8 Vantage 'X Pack' then this is the model to own and drive. 

​

Aston Martin V8 Volante '15419' was first supplied and registered to the United States of America on the 1st January 1986. It resided in the States until the 1st December 2017 when it was repatriated to the UK, where it underwent an extensive restoration. 

​

The new V8 Volante model launched in June 1978 and it was mechanically identical to the existing V8 saloon but there were a number of changes to the overall specification. 

These included a new bonnet with a bulge rather than a scoop, effectively a neater version of the bonnet introduced the previous year on the V8 Vantage; this would be later developed across the range. 

​

As corroborated by the Aston Martin Heritage Trust (AMHT) this V8 is an original LHD factory manual car. 

439 Weber-Carburettor cars were produced, 45 of which were exported to the US market, including this one at ROE, increasing its desirability. 

​

The Volante has been subjected to an extensive restoration by Aston Martin Specialists Runnymede Motor Company between 2018-2019. The exhaustive list of works is fully documented within the car's history file. 

​

Notable highlights include refurbishment of the prop-shaft, replacement of the clutch and new leather gaiter. A bare metal restoration with the paintwork of Winchester Blue. The headlining and Mohair hood has been replaced as well as new carpets to the centre console. The chrome bumper has been stripped and re-chromed and a full restoration of the V8 wood set. 

 

The V8 also benefits from its factory air conditioning and the more tasteful yet subtle Ronal wheels. 

​​

Most recent servicing and other mechanical works have been carried out by Aston Martin Specialists Richards of England in June 2025.
