Produced to satisfy demands from the USA, the Volante convertible debuted in 1978, but it was not until 1986 that it became available to Vantage specification, which by this time meant around 400bhp. Along with the Vantage engine and bonnet, came flared wheel arches, boot spoiler (a feature the Volante had previously lacked) and extended front spoiler, while glass fibre extensions replaced the model’s hitherto characteristic chromed sill covers. The result was a muscular, aggressive-looking car that could justifiably claim to be the world’s fastest convertible, all the more so when it came with the optional 432bhp ‘X-Pack’ engine.
Chassis #15660 is a UK, RHD supplied example, delivered new on the 18th March 1988 via HWM Ltd, New Zealand Avenue, Walton-on-Thames, Surrey with engine number #V/ 580/ 5660/ XA and gearbox #9477/ 8340 to McCarthy & Stone PLC, Oxford Road, Bournemouth. Finished in Javlin grey metallic, complemented with a parchment leather interior (3762) and a black (5218) electric hood.
With documented service history, previous mot certificates and extensive restoration documentation on file, this is an immaculate example of the very collectible, limited production, 432bhp, V8-engined, Vantage Volante X Pack.
