About this car

This 1988 V8 Vantage Volante is one of just 59 left-hand drive cars built for the US market. It combines the Vantage's flared arches, deep front air dam and ducktail spoiler with the fuel-injected 5.3-litre V8 of the standard V8 range. That makes it easier to live with than the carburetted X-Pack cars.

The page lists 11,700 miles from new, very low for a 38-year-old convertible. Specification includes the later glass rear window, which replaced the plastic type used on earlier cars, and factory air conditioning. The car is finished in black over a light leather interior with contrasting piping. The page gives the trim as Magnolia in the specification and Parchment in the text.

It is automatic and left-hand drive, and no previous-owner count or registration is given. The car is with the dealer in London.
