History

Aston Martin had a long history with open-top vehicles and even patented its own designated name for them: Volante (flying – Latin).

The British carmaker tried to convince its customers that the V-8 model was, in fact, a Grand Tourer and not a sports car.

It was shown in the opening scene of “The Living Daylights” movie. But that was not its only good side.

From the outside, the British Grand Tourer featured a low height, a long hood with a bulge in the middle, that differentiated it from the other

Aston Martin V8 (Series 3) model. In the front, it featured two round headlights and two additional fog-lights.

Its canvas-roof was retractable behind the rear seats/parcel.

The exclusive interior design featured a mix of wood and leather. While the front bucket seats with high-bolstered areas promised a good, comfortable ride

in the back, the carmaker offered an option for two individual seats or a parcel to store more luggage for a very long trip.

When retracted, the roof was protected by a vinyl cover.

Under the hood, there was a 5.3-liter engine that offered 305 hp when it was introduced.
