Price on request
The Aston Martin V8 Volante (1978-1989) was the convertible variant and became synonymous with 1980s glamour. Featured in the James Bond film The Living Daylights. The Volante is now highly collectible, with values exceeding £200k for good examples.
Engine: 5.3-litre V8 robust but: Fuel injection systems vary (Weber/Marelli/EFi) - each has issues. Oil leaks common. Cooling critical. Transmission: ZF manual or Chrysler Torqueflite auto. Manual preferred by enthusiasts. Body: Steel - rust is critical concern. Check all structural areas carefully. Electrics: Various eras have different systems - all need specialist knowledge. Trim: Interior parts very expensive. Leather. Wilton carpets. General: These are appreciating classics requiring significant investment. Budget £15k+ annually. Specialist essential.
