KEY FACTS This Series 4 ‘Oscar India’ Aston Martin V8 is a US-market example of the rare British sports car, and one of just 352 examples built between 1978 and 1985, even fewer of which were specified in open-top ‘Volante’ form.
Under the bonnet sits the matching-numbers 5.3-litre naturally-aspirated V8, producing around 245hp in US-market specification, paired with a TorqueFlite three-speed automatic transmission.
According to the accompanying build record, the vehicle was built and shipped to the USA on 4 December 1978.
The original engine specification is noted as ‘LFA’, denoting an automatic, low-compression, US-specification unit.
The car was auctioned in 2015 and exported to the United Arab Emirates, before being acquired by the current owner, who imported it into the UK and re-registered it with the DVLA in March 2019.
The odometer shows 9,477 miles.
