About this car

This is a 1986 Aston Martin V8 Volante in Series 2 form, which means Weber-Marelli electronic fuel injection in place of the earlier carburettors. That change improved starting and drivability, and it brought the flatter bonnet line seen on the later cars.

Most Volantes were automatics. This one has the five-speed ZF manual gearbox, and the page describes it as one of only 34 left-hand-drive manual EFi Volantes built. It is finished in Rolls-Royce Royal Blue Metallic over fawn (light tan) hide, and it shows 28,000 miles.

The car was built in April 1986 and keeps its numbers-matching 5.3-litre V8. A copy of the original build sheet comes with it. The dealer describes it as starting easily, running cleanly and driving well. Price is on application.
