Description
1989 ASTON MARTIN V8 VANTAGE VOLANTE ‘PRINCE OF WALES’
An original ‘PoW’ specified V8 Vantage Volante.
This superb Volante needs little introduction to a knowledgeable few. One of just 22 Volante’s built to ‘X-Pack’ Vantage engine and chassis specification, fitted with discerning coachwork and interior equipment, similar to that requested by HRH King Charles III – during his former years as HRH The Prince of Wales – on his personal car, the first example built and supplied in 1987.
Finished, appropriately enough, in Windsor Blue with Magnolia hides, matching Navy Blue piping and woven fabric hood, the specification includes discrete PoW body specifications, this ultimate grand touring convertible is the only right-hand drive automatic transmission example built. Delivered to its first owner, Mr Stuart Hodgson, via Aston Martin Sales in Cheval Place, London, in December 1989. Chassis No:-15834 has been known to ourselves from new, whilst being cherished and enjoyed by its discerning previous owners.
Maintained from new by Aston Martin Works, AM Main Agents, respected specialists and ourselves, this rare and exceptional car, ‘fit for a king’, has now covered only 34, 000 miles from new. Recent maintenance carried out by our own workshops includes a comprehensive scheduled service and sills replaced.
Included with this rare and originally specified ‘PoW’ Vantage Volante, is a comprehensive history file, including the manufacturers build record card, original and stamped service voucher book, owner’s handbooks, jack and tool roll. Supplied inclusive of 12 months warranty, MOT certificate and multi point pre delivery inspection.
Available for viewing and demonstration at our Hertfordshire showrooms now.
