About the V8 Vantage Volante  – Factory original Prince of Wales​​


Delivered in 1989, this factory original ‘PoW’ specified V8 Volante Vantage was built with the same discreet and discerning body specifications and similar interior specifications, as the famed example specified by the then HRH The Prince of Wales, for his personal use in 1987. Needing little introduction in collector circles, this PoW is 1 of just 22 Volante’s built, to the renowned ‘X-Pack’ Vantage engine and chassis specifications and is 1 of the 22 cars which have collectively become known as PoW’s. Uniquely, this particular example is the only one to have been manufactured and delivered with the added convenience of the optional automatic transmission.

Finished, appropriately enough, in Windsor Blue with Magnolia hide interior piped Navy Blue, fitted with beige carpets and a woven fabric hood in Navy Blue. This factory-built PoW is equipped with a host of PoW specifications, including a Nardi wood rimmed steering wheel, a specially fabricated and trimmed central switch panel with sunken switches and a raised locking central armrest.​
