When the DB6 Volante ended production in 1970, Aston Martin had been left without a convertible in the model range despite huge demand. The V8 Volante, introduced in 1978, remedied this with the wildly popular new Aston. American orders were so high that RHD models didn't exist for many months. Featuring the 5.3L Aston Martin V8, the V8 Volante married contemporary looks with world-leading performance producing a car that is still desirable to this day, often commanding 100% premiums over the coupe V8s.

This 1979 V8 Volante, in its original factory specification of Orchard Green metallic over Magnolia leather with matching vinyl hood, represents a fine example of one of Aston Martin's most popular models. Tastefully upgraded to provide a more modern driving experience, the exterior remains faithful to the William Towns design.

Our vendor, who used the car for a 3,000 mile round trip to holiday in the south of France just this Summer, has over the past 18 years, commissioned The Aston Workshop in Durham, who he purchased the car from, to carry out a raft of work and upgrades. When he purchased the car in 2006 it had been cosmetically restored but needed some mechanical TLC coupled to his desire for a more modern drive, thus the Aston Workshop completed a full engine rebuild. This included taking the capacity up to 6.0 litre, adding fuel injection and fitted a modern six-speed Touchtronic automatic transmission, something that they now offer as a package due to the success of the transformation this brings. Our vendor explains that it transforms the driving experience especially when touring.

Durning his tenure, they also completed a full brake overhaul including uprated brake pads, new suspension bushes, bearings and shock absorbers all round. The differential has been fully rebuilt and strengthening work on the differential cradle carried out, in line with the increased power. The Alloy wheels have been refurbished and fitted with new tyres, the chassis fully inspected, with repairs completed where needed and upgraded Air Con with modern componentry was added. All work carried out at Aston Workshop is detailed in the cars comprehensive history folder. The car had carried out approximately 76,000 miles ahead of the upgrade work, since then around 7,000 miles has been covered including this year's fault free jaunt to the South of France.

The interior trim although represents as original with patina, would benefit from a refresh to the seats but the woodwork and headlining on the hood are in very good order, the body and paint is good but showing some signs of age and may need some cosmetic touches, mechanically we are assured this is a joy to own and a history file with countless invoices from one of UK's leading specialists. This is a rare opportunity to own a timeless classic with the trappings of a more modern driver…. Once more to the south of France anyone? Consigned by Mathew Priddy
