AI Listing Summary

This 1979 Aston Martin V8 Volante 'Prince of Wales' Cosmetic Specification is a rare barn find project, requiring recommissioning after decades in storage. It features desirable 'Oscar India' styling and has had substantial refurbishment in the past, presenting a unique opportunity for restoration.

Condition

5

The car has been stored off the road for 30-35 years and is being sold as a non-running recommissioning project. While it has had restoration work in the past and the interior and paintwork are described as 'remarkably well preserved' and 'respectable', it requires cosmetic refinements and substantial reconditioning to be returned to the road. The car also has some documented mechanical improvements from the late 80s/early 90s, but its current non-running state indicates significant work is needed.
