Originally purchased by a Richard Moore of Ongar in Essex, the car was stored on his behalf by Roger Bennington of Stratton Motor Company before being sold through Ron Stratton of Knutsford in Cheshire to the newspaper magnate, Eddie Shah and it was registered in his Messenger Group of companies.

The car was registered for the second time in Ron Stratton’s name in January of 1995 before being sold into a private collection in July of the same year.

The car only covered a very nominal mileage over the next 15 years although regularly MOT’d in that period. Sold in 2010 at auction, the car was re-commissioned by the current owner with Aston Engineering and is offered today in full running order with a fresh MOT certificate.

With recent announcements of Aston Martin renewing their long association with Carrosserie Zagato, there is a burgeoning market in the V8 Zagato.

For so long the Cinderella of the Zagatos but now acknowledged as a genuine investment opportunity, this V8 Volante represents a great opportunity to acquire a car with a genuinely modest mileage.
