1993 Aston Martin V8 Zagato Vantage Volante
UK Supplied: Two owners from new
One of only Seven Cars ever produced
Zagato had created the first production two-seater since the DB4GT. The 5.3-litre four-cam V8 was, naturally, to Vantage specification, producing a mind-bending 432bhp at 6,200rpm. The manner of its installation though, created a certain amount of controversy at Newport Pagnell as the existing Zagato design featured a low sloping bonnet, penned in the expectation of a fuel-injected engine, but to produce a “Vantage specification” a revised bonnet design had to take place to clear the Vantage's quartet of Webers.
# 30042 is one of only seven Zagato Vantage Volantes originally constructed by the factory with the X pack Vantage engine specification & only six remain due to the total loss of one chassis. This car was supplied new on 1st August 1993 to the first registered keeper, Mr Michael A Johnson of Dundee. Stamps in the accompanying service book record visits to the Murray Motor Company in January 1995 (at 2,841 miles), Donaldson & Evans in June 1996 (at 3,425 miles) and Works Service in August 1996 (at 3,745 miles) when the speedometer was replaced. In July 1996 the car was acquired by the previous owner. Subsequent Works Service bills on file include one for converting the engine to unleaded compatibility, and we are advised that other Works Service modifications also include; In addition, the car is fitted with the preferred style of Momo steering wheel, wind deflector and supplied with an additional set of wheels/tyres (Sniper alloy wheels shod with Pirelli P Zero tyres). In June2006 # 30042 was serviced at 10,501 miles and was then for four years held in storage. A further service was carried out on 7th, May 2011. We have just completed a major service / new MOT / & new clutch with an official Aston Martin Heritage service agent. (02.2013)
Finished in Metallic Black with matching Black leather interior, this ultra-rare Zagato Vantage Volante is a stunning low mileage example which has covered only 15,216m from new and is without doubt one of the finest driving modern Aston Martins available today, due in part to the car’s SWB & lightweight construction. The unique Zagato styling makes this model a definite future classic, The Zagato bodied Aston Martin DB4GT being the most highly prized, valuable & collectable Aston Martin of all time.
