There is a copy of the original Aston Martin Warranty, issued on 12th May 1987 that names the owner of the car as North Sadyan Inc. but the original Certificate of Ownership more clearly records the first keeper of this wonderful car as El-Khoury of Brompton Road, London and the ownership folder contains copies of registration documents that allow one to follow the ownership cycle.
The first recorded change in October 1987 is to a Mrs Mouna Al-Ayous but the address is a car storage facility in Newport Pagnell and whilst it would have appeared to spent the majority of its first ten years of life in storage, it was acquired in September 1997 by a Stuart Katz who originally registered the car in his company name – Miren Ltd – but subsequently in April 2003 transferred registration to his own name at the same address in Kingston upon Thames.
The last change of keeper was in February 2007 by a Hertfordshire based businessman and car enthusiast and the Aston Martin shared a garage with a rather remarkable Alvis TD21.
After an initial upgrading of sound and security systems, the car has been serviced assiduously maintained in spite of a modest annual mileage and is presented in fabulous condition. Sad to report this is a sale on behalf of the owner’s estate and the family are understandably sad to see the departure of the owner’s pride and joy.
The Aston Martin V8 Volante is a car that is evocative of its age – this example, one of the 245 Series II Volante’s that enjoyed the benefit of years of development and of course the more tractable Webber fuel injected engine, is a perfect example of that timeless quality.
Finished in Champagne with a Beige hood, it is a true classic and with its low mileage, first class condition and clear ownership history is a car ready for this Summer’s motoring events.
