Completed at the Newport Pagnell works in June of 1987, this V8
Volante was sold new to Andrew Terrand Ltd. As judged by the superb
condition today, this Aston has always enjoyed proper care and
maintenance in correct and loving ownership. The V8 was then sold
in 1991 to a Mr. John Pease. Showing just 13,500 miles in 1997, the
V8 was sold to its 3rd owner, Mr. Charles William Cayzar of
Chipping Norton. Service records for this V8 date back to 1997 and
Mr. Cayzars impeccable ownership. All service work was performed by
Oselli, Nicholas Mee & Co and other UK Aston Martin specialists.
Some updates carried out during recent restoration include an
engine rebuild and uprating to 5.8 liter Big Bore specifications,
rebuild of the gearbox, new torque converter, upgraded Koni shocks
with handling kit-anti-roll bars, Vantage front air dam, 16-inch
Ronal wheels and new exhaust system.
Having been in the UK since new, it was purchased in 2016 by a good
client and friend of Autosport Designs, a Texas based collector and
imported to the United States. Before leaving the UK, Oselli
performed the conversion from Right-hand drive to Left-hand drive,
completely re-trimmed the interior in new Magnolia leather
upholstery and fitted a new (PoW spec) cloth convertible top.
Engine work included a complete rebuild to X-Pack plus fuel
injected specifications. June 2020 saw this Aston traded to
Autosport Designs towards another automobile from our inventory. At
this time, the new owner decided to color changed this V8 Volante
from Rolls Royce Midnight Blue Met. to his favored Aston color,
Chichester Blue. All work was undertaken and photo documented by
Autosport Designs and we have serviced and maintained this V8
Volante since.
Although not a Vantage with carburetors, this Big Bore
specification creates even more horsepower and torque than a
standard X-Pack Vantage. On a recent road test, it has ample
horsepower and torque which is well suited to the automatic
transmission.
This V8 Volante is excellent in all respects and has always been
serviced and maintained by well-known Aston Martin specialists. It
is complete with original owners handbook, tool kit, and large
ownership and service file. This V8 Volante is powerful on the open
road, yet docile around town and sure not to disappoint in any
way.
