Just 37 Short Chassis Volantes were originally built by Aston Martin during 1965 and 1966. Essentially a crossover model between the outgoing DB5 and the new model DB6. The original cars used the remaining shorter chassis from the DB5. The Short Chassis was the first model to use the ‘Volante’ name.
A complete photographic record of the car details the extent of its build and quality of workmanship to produce what could possibly be identified as a continuation car.
Supplied in Gun Metal Grey Metallic with red hide interior and black hood, the Short Chassis has an upgraded Vantage specification engine with Weber Carburetors and upgraded 5 speed manual gearbox.
