Aston Martin’s flagship grand touring car for nearly two decades, the Aston Martin V8 was entirely hand built in Buckinghamshire, England, with just over 4,000 examples produced from 1969 until 1989. The final Series 5 version was launched at the 1986 New York International Auto Show featuring a new fuel-injection system, and 405 were produced before the model’s discontinuation in 1989. This example is one of only 216 Series 5 Volante models produced and features body-colored BBS wheels, yellow fog lamps, a power convertible top, and a 3-speed automatic transmission. Having been cared for by the owner of a luxury mountain resort in Virginia until the selling dealer’s acquisition in 2024, this rare Aston Martin V8 Volante is now being offered for auction with just over 26k miles showing on the odometer. 

Designed by William Towns, the Aston Martin V8 features hand-built aluminum bodywork and was assembled with approximately 1,200 manhours from start to finish. The Series 5 models can be distinguished by their flatter bonnet bulge, resulting from the more compact fuel injection system instead of carburetors. This V8 Volante is finished in red with a tan convertible top and body-colored 15” BBS basketweave wheels. Other equipment includes black bumpers, yellow-tinted fog lights, grille-mounted driving lamps, fender vents, polished rocker moldings, dual exhaust outlets, and a rear fender-mounted antenna. The seller indicates a paint correction has been performed and some pitting is evident on the hood, front fenders, trunk, and quarter panels. The tires show production date codes from 2012 and two small dings are noted on the driver’s door. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report. 

The beige leather interior features matching carpets, a two-spoke steering wheel, burl wood veneers, and a contrasting black leather dashboard. Accessories include power windows and mirrors, air conditioning, cruise control, analog Smiths gauges, a Kienzle quartz clock, and a Sony AM/FM cassette stereo paired with a trunk-mounted Orion amplifier. Some wear is noted on the driver’s seat bolster, the stitching is torn on the dashboard above the instrument cluster, and the gearshift surround trim is cracked and has two small screws securing it in place. All gauges and accessories are said to be fully functional.

The fuel-injected 5.3-liter V8 was rated at 305 HP and 320 lb.-ft of torque and drives the rear wheels by way of a 3-speed automatic gearbox. Stopping power comes from four-wheel ventilated disc brakes with inboard rear rotors. The seller indicates there are no outstanding service items at this time.

This sale will include owner’s manuals, a toolkit, a spare tire, and a clean title. 

The seller would like you to know: “This is a beautiful car inside and out with a smooth running engine, definitely a showpiece or one for your private collection!”
