1979 Aston Martin V8 Volante for sale

At £149,950, about €175,440, it sits below the median of €199,731 for the 153 Aston Martin advertised in Europe in 2026. 39% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

The car is located in Swadlincote, United Kingdom. The dealer quotes it as: Harold Beach developed the Volante on the coupé's steel platform chassis, reinforced for the open body, and George Mosely, who had drawn the Rolls-Royce Corniche hood, designed its folding roof. Launched in June 1978, it previewed the closed bonnet bulge and wood-trimmed dashboard of the Series 4 Oscar India coupé. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

165,762 km recorded, against a median of 6,500 km across the Aston Martin advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the higher-mileage cars currently listed. Service history and previous owners are not published on LUSSO and should be confirmed with the selling dealer.

The car is at Swadlincote, United Kingdom, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history: LUSSO does not publish these and cannot confirm them.

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with Tom Hartley before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.
