Originally built by the Special Projects Team at Aston Martin’s Works Service as a feasibility study to investigate the possibility of the building the ultimate convertible Aston Martin. This was to become the Supercharged V8 Long Wheelbase Vantage Volante.

Under the direction and guidance of Works Service director Kingsley Riding-Felce, the Special Projects Team had become synonymous with the development and building of many significant coachbuilt Aston Martin and Lagonda models for discerning owners around the world. A great deal of research was carried out and the business decision made to manufacture one Long wheelbase Vantage Volante and later eight Short Wheelbase V8 Vantage Volante’s.
