1986 | Aston Martin V8 Volante
Factory LHD ZF Manual Model
Factory LHD ZF Manual Model
Description
Rare and desirable five-speed ZF manual transmission.
1 of only 45 original LHD manual cars imported to the US market and 1 of just 439 Weber-Carburettor fed V8 Volantes.
Highly attractive Winchester Blue livery complemented by Black Wilton wool carpets and Dark Blue Mohair hood.
Considerable history file documenting the restoration costs whilst in the UK.
Low mileage of just over 25,000 miles.
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.
As corroborated by the Aston Martin Heritage Trust (AMHT), this V8 is an original LHD factory manual car.
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 the 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 have been replaced, as well as new carpets for 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.
If you are looking for a more understated, elegant and refined V8 Volante compared to the V8 Vantage 'X Pack', then this is the model to own and drive.
