1979 Aston Martin V8 Volante Oscar India

A 1979 Aston Martin V8 Volante in the desirable 'Oscar India' specification, this particular car carries notable provenance as a former Roger Taylor vehicle — the Queen drummer's ownership adding a layer of rock-and-roll history to an already compelling classic. Finished in the rarely seen Buckinghamshire Green Metallic over Magnolia hide with Olive Green stitching, it presents an unusual and period-correct colour combination that sets it apart from the more commonly encountered Silver Birch or similar-era V8s.

The 'Oscar India' update, introduced in October 1978, brought meaningful refinements to the V8 Volante including improved interior appointments and revised engine management. This example is fitted with Weber carburettors, Cibie auxiliary driving lights, SP2 shock absorbers, and a passenger door mirror — a specification that reflects thoughtful ownership. The Chrysler Torqueflite automatic transmission pairs with the 5,340cc V8 to deliver effortless grand touring capability in open-air form.

Showing 103,000 miles on the odometer, this is a car that has clearly been used and enjoyed rather than mothballed. At this price point, the Roger Taylor connection and the distinctive specification make it a V8 Volante worth serious consideration for collectors who value provenance alongside driving pleasure.
