Along with a more powerful engine, it was distinguished from the regular Volante with a body kit that included large flares, front dam, sill plates and a kicked up trunk lid. These pieces were all distinct from the coupe version. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>In their time, the Vantage Volante was one of the fastest road-going cars and could achieve 160 mph.<\/p>\n<p>During a three

The subject of a bare-metal repaint completed in 2010 by marque specialists, it also received a partial re-trim with new green carpeting. Replacement, original-style Ronal wheels and new tyres were also fitted to the car in 2010. In addition, a new clutch assembly and new flywheel were fitted in 2009, and the car has covered nominal mileage since. This very rare X-Pack Volante also benefits from an excellent service history, first with Aston Martin main dealers and then the specialist firm Trinity Engineering. Complete with Alpine satellite navigation and audio systems, this Volante is an excellent driving car with the ultimate X-Pack option. Offered in superb condition throughout, it is presently UK-registered with a current MoT road test certificate valid to April 2012.<\/div>\n<p><b>Auction Source: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/gallery\/119513\/2665\/1.html\">2011 Salon Priv\u00e9 Auction by RM<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-265888 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/966266.jpg\" alt=\"1986\u21921989 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante\" width=\"\" height=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\">\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/Pics?viewCarPic=y&amp;source=carGal&amp;carID=84&amp;pgID=1&amp;pID=966266\">1989 Aston Martin V8 Volante &#8220;Prince of Wales&#8221;<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\">The right-hand drive \u201cPrince of Wales\u201d V-8 Volante offered here is one of the most desirable of the V-8 series, and it was first registered on 1 January, 1989.
