HISTORY
The 1989 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Zagato Volante is a rare and captivating fusion of British muscle and Italian flair—an automotive icon that encapsulates the spirit of late 20th-century luxury performance. Born from a prestigious collaboration between Aston Martin and the legendary Italian coachbuilder Zagato, this open-top grand tourer stands as a bold statement of style, power, and exclusivity.

Produced in extremely limited numbers, the Volante variant of the V8 Vantage Zagato represents one of the most sought-after iterations of Aston Martin’s V8 era. Its aggressive yet elegant bodywork, sculpted by Zagato’s distinctive design language, sets it apart from anything else of its time. With its low-slung stance, muscular proportions, and signature double-bubble roofline adapted for an open-top configuration, the Volante embodies automotive craftsmanship at its peak.

Under the skin, the Vantage Zagato Volante shares the same high-performance DNA as its coupé counterpart, delivering a visceral driving experience that was ahead of its time. It was designed not only to turn heads but also to perform with authority, making it as thrilling on the road as it is beautiful in form.

Today, the 1989 V8 Vantage Zagato Volante stands as a true collector’s piece—a symbol of a bygone era when design and performance were guided by passion and individuality. For enthusiasts and connoisseurs of classic motoring, it represents a unique opportunity to own a piece of Aston Martin and Zagato’s shared legacy.

OUR V8 Zagato Volante
One of only 37 Zagato Volantes ever produced, and one of just six factory-built right-hand drive examples equipped with an automatic transmission. Originally ordered by the renowned Patrick Collection, this exceptional car was specified in the elegant Malvern Brown over Magnolia leather, complemented by a Brown mohair hood.

A notable distinction of this particular vehicle is its factory-fitted Recaro Ideal C Type seats, chosen in place of the standard Zagato design to accommodate Alexander Patrick, who required greater comfort due to a back condition. This thoughtful specification adds a unique touch to an already rare model.

The car is accompanied by a set of original documentation, including its owner’s handbooks with service supplement and Zagato leather pouch. The Aston Martin was purchased by the current custodian in 2017 and has been driven sparingly since then, accumulating around 2000km since the purchase.

Carefully preserved throughout its life, the car presents in beautiful original condition. The Aston was converted from RHD to LHD for the customer by RS Williams in England, who are responsible for award-winning Aston Martin restorations. The conversion was done using original Aston Martin parts for the total cost of 40.000 GBP.

With only 4.400miles from new and a stunning color combination, there is no doubt that such an example deserves a space in any serious Aston Martin collection. Available for sale with us in Munich.
