1983 Aston Martin V8 Volante. Just 11,961 miles and in 'Time Warp' condition - Nicholas Mee & Co

1983 Aston Martin V8 Volante
Original ‘Time Warp’ condition. 11,961 miles from new

Delivered in November 1983, finished in special order Ferrari Blue Ribot with Magnolia hide piped dark Blue and Navy Blue power operated roof, UK market specified.

In the hands of just two previous owners, this extraordinary Volante has remarkably covered just 11,961 miles from new. Still in the exact specifications, as built and delivered 40 years ago, including the original Navy Blue ‘Everflex’ convertible hood covering and optional Pioneer Hi-Fi equipment, as fitted. Currently, in its original factory paint finish and bearing all the hallmarks of a cosseted and highly cared for car, we have been astounded at the originality and excellent overall condition. This superbly preserved 40-year-old V8 Volante, has covered on average just under 300 miles per annum!

Inspected in our workshops and lightly prepared prior to offering for sale, from the last deceased owners garaging, this Volante, in excellent and original condition, is being offered for a short period, prior to a planned programme of light refurbishment and can be purchased prior to the intended works, or inclusive of the costed refurbishment schedule. Corrosion free, the anticipated works will include a bare metal repaint due to isolated and age-related micro blistering to the existing original finish, as well as a detailed mechanical programme of works and the lightly corroded bumpers replating. The totally original and virtually unmarked interior, is essentially as new and shows almost no signs of wear or use, quite a testament to the original trimmers skills, quality of materials used in manufacture and the last owners care.

Included within this remarkable Volante’s history file, is a comprehensive collection of MoT test certificates, the original owners hand book and manufacturer’s warranty statement, a fully stamped service voucher book and various maintenance invoices, all fully supporting the exceptionally low mileage covered and with details of maintenance, carried out to date by Aston Martin approved agents.

We are delighted to bring this rare Volante to market, recorded to be 1 of less than only 134 Weber Carburettor equipped V8 Volante’s built in RHD configuration, between 1979-1985. This rare opportunity to acquire a wonderfully preserved, ultra-low mileage and highly collectible Volante, is time limited prior to the scheduled works commencing. A purchaser currently, would be able to individualise the specifications if required, prior to the works commencing.

Interested parties are therefore invited to respond promptly.
