This quite exceptional X-Pack Vantage Volante comes with a most comprehensive history stretching back to when the car was sold new by Aston Martin agents HWM of Walton-on-Thames to its first owner, a Mr G Burbidge of Village Properties in Westerham, Kent.
First registered on 4th April 1989; routine servicing was undertaken initially by HWM, followed by various recognised marque specialists including Stratton Motor Company, Pugsley & Lewis and, more recently, Vantage Engineering. Detailed servicing/ maintenance records are included in the history file, together with a copy of the factory build sheet recording the car's original specification.
In March 1998 the Aston was purchased by the previous owner. Its custodian for 24 years, the previous owner, spared no expense in caring for the car, which is testament to its fabulous condition. These considerable works included having Pugsley & Lewis rebuild the engine in 2014, increasing its capacity to 5. 7 litres in the process. Recently, nearly £40, 000 was spent with Vantage Engineering on various works including a repaint in original Rolls-Royce Balmoral Green.
The accompanying comprehensive service history (and MoTs for the period 2006-2022) testifies to the veracity of the recorded mileage (currently 26, 987), though it should be noted that HWM's 1995 paperwork records the then total incorrectly. A wonderful opportunity to own what must be one of the very best examples of this rare Aston Martin model currently available.
