Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante LWB

When the Aston Martin V8 Vantage made its debut at the Birmingham Motor Show in 1992, it was already being hailed as a success. This new model marked the second time the iconic Aston Martin V8 Vantage was released in its own right, rather than as an upgraded version of an existing model. It was quite different from its predecessor, the Aston Martin Virage, although it did resemble it to a certain extent; only the door and roof skins were taken from the Virage.

The external features of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage were distinct and unique, with two groups of three headlamps interspersed with a single heated lens, and a grand grille framed the space above the bumper moulding. Production of the model mainly comprised the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante version.
