Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1965 Aston Martin Short-Chassis Volante is an exceptionally rare, left-hand drive converted vehicle, believed to be the show car from the 1965 British International Motor Show. One of only 37 ever made, it requires recommissioning but holds significant potential as a concours-level classic.

Condition

6

The car is described as a 'promising concours contender once recommissioned,' suggesting it requires some level of restoration to reach its full potential. While it's considered rare and potentially a show car, the need for recommissioning indicates it's not in pristine or outstanding condition currently. The description points to an older restoration or the need for a first restoration. The car being described in Italian also suggest that the car is not currently located in an english speaking country.
