RS Williams & Aston Works Invoices totalling circa £220,000 upto 1995/6! Then recently effectively £70,000- £80,000 odd value of Chassis & undercarriage renovation. TO CREATE THE “SUPER-VANTAGE” WAS R.S.WILLIAMS PROJECT, WHO DEVELOPED & FITTED 6.3L ENGINES INTO JUST 2 V8 VANTAGE VOLANTE ZAGATO FOR THE MANUFACTURER ASTON MARTIN THEMSELVES, AS THIS WORK WAS BEYOND THEM AND EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE! THIS WAS ASTON’S FLAGSHIP MODEL OF THAT ERA (1970 to 1990); JUST LIKE TODAY’S £1.7M 077.

(These engines were conservatively rated at an absurdly low 425-435BHP).

The Std 5.3 Aston Engine was rated 300BHP; the developed V8 Vantage Engine max output was 375BHP, which made it the World’s fastest accelerating production car at that time; far quicker than the Legendary (& still very expensive) Ferrari Daytona! Only 68 RHD Manual Vantage Volante were ever made with prices (when new) creeping upto £120,000 by the end of the 1980’s. For an additional £50,000 or so, at that time, AMW would perform a 6.3L conversion, that they had purchased the rights of, at great expense, from R.S.Williams himself. Even this conversion does not compare with R.S.Williams’ actual own Heavy Duty “Super-Zagato plus”, Specification RSW block engine, that was placed in our car in 1991 at immense cost!

Car Magazines extracts of reviews done at that time on RSW’s 6.3L Engine fitted into “7 EXY” (titled “ULTIMATE ASTON”), would say the following:-

“…for all this brute acceleration, it was the extraordinary flexibility of the engine that constantly impressed.”

“…Rev Limited to 6,500 RPM”, but RSW said, “it could do more, but doesn’t need to”.

“…unbelievable Mid-Range & 6,000RPM in 5th gives nearly 190mph!”

“…the precise bore & stroke must remain secret………Dynometer Tests show more than 500BHP……….for a little more work, we could take it right up to 600BHP!”

The true power of this Legendary engine at the rear wheels, was hampered; “………..due to excessive noise the standard exhaust was changed to a 6 Silencer Langford System, which robbed it of Power” (70-90BHP). 0-60 would have been less than 4 sec; “if it wasn’t for the Dog-Leg 1st Gear and power-sapping exhaust”.

For all that money spent, the factory V8 Vantage Volante buyers still had to go back to AMW to fit improved & uprated Diff, brakes, suspension, handling kit and straight through Sport Exhaust, etc, etc, which our one has even better ones fitted at huge expense, including miniature clamping shocks between sport exhaust and car body.

Original Bills & Invoices that Total a staggering £220,000 or so; (vast majority Official AM or Official Heritage RS Williams); majority dating from the early 90’s, which in today’s money is probably £3/4 Million quid! (Spending power wise)

Only 1 previous owner over the last 25 Years, and mileage Warrantied at 13,000 odd MILES, since RSW engine transplant in 1991. (Very Famous Worldwide Star previously owned). Volante conversion was carried out by well-known Lincoln Scott Aston Specialists in 1990 for an enormous sum total of £61,000 (£47,000 + £15,000 Invoices just relating to this). As they used the exact methods and chassis strengthening, etc, etc, that were identical to the way Aston Martin themselves built the Volantes. Please do not confuse or compare this in any way, with the “TIN CAN OPENER” Jobs that cost a miserly £10-£15K; done by Banham & Daytona Motor Company, as they are as different as chalk is to cheese! If our special car was not a conversion, it would retail in excess of others advertised at £285,000 to £295,000, so a “bargain”, in this respect; especially more so because of our 4 to 5 Yr 100% buyback Guarantee! Or even Double your money in 10-15 Years?

In Years to come, this will be a great investment, due to the provenance of the engine and all the high-end work that has gone into this car from top to bottom and the history behind it! So just count the appreciation in value, while setting your Pulse Racing with its sound, Power & brutal 500+BHP force! Salisbury Blue, with Blue Mohair Hood and magnolia Leather with Blue piping.

1 Year Buyback Guarantee of 85% and 5 Year 100% Buyback (STC). Any P/Ex taken, even if more expensive.

A 5 and 10 Yr  “as specified”  Warranty is included in this price! An offer unprecedented or unmatched by any other Aston Seller! If any Warranty Work is ever required, it will be carried out by the World renowned 2nd oldest Official Aston Dealership in the World.

This car will be worth £1/2M in the not too distant future, and will also “blow the doors off” and out-handle nearly all other road going Classic Astons! Come and Test Drive it and see for yourself.
