Equipment
Blaupunkt multiband radio, chrome wire wheels, blackwall tires, bullet Talbot mirrors, covered headlights, woodrim steering wheel. Doors puff slightly but line up well. Excellent paint, chrome and interior. Restored like new and converted to lefthand drive in 2005. Extremely sharp and clean underhood. 2012 Boca Raton Concours Newport Pagnell Award winner. One of seven factory built DB5 Vantage Volante convertibles.
Market commentary
Beautifully restored without going overboard, this is Astons counterpart to the 300SL Roadster, but with more power. Its impeccable restoration and presentation are matched by the singularly attractive livery and it scored a big hit with the Amelia Island bidders, but no more than it deserved.
