It was written in the stars that after this memorable trip my customer would fall in love with this Aston Martin V8 Volante and wouldn’t be able to resist to ship the Madagascar Brown Volante back with him to Belgium. With only 34.000 miles from new (what a bonus!) and a in depth service this Aston Martin V8 Volante was the perfect convertible for a 2 months road trip crossing the USA from California to Florida. My Belgian customer was very much charmed by the car’s attractive Madagascar Brown original livery, still for 90% original paint, and lovingly slight interior patina on the tan hides with brown piping.

This rare 1978 1-st year Volante model, the sought after cabriolet version of the Coupé, with elegant chrome bumpers is one of only fifty 1-st series V8 Volantes in LHD with Weber carbs and the desirable manual 5-speed ZF gearbox.īought by my Belgian customer and Aston Martin collector from the 2-nd owner in California – USA, also an Aston Martin club member who owned the V8 Volante for 17 years. Two years later Tadek Marek’s 5.3 litre V8 initial concept engine was ready and Aston Martin launched the DBS V8, later simply called Aston Martin V8, the company’s mainstream sportscar for nearly two decades. Recent years have confirmed the undeniable classic status of the Aston Martin V8, a newly styled (Aston Martin designer William Towns admitted having been inspired by the Ford Mustang), larger, modern looking sportscar released in 1967 initially as the DBS with the 4 litre TOHC six cylinder engine from the DB6 predecessor model.
