Before the 1986 redesign where V8 Vantage Volante models were brought into the range, there were a few (website below says 6) V8 Volantes with the more powerful Vantage engine specially added, but this wasn't part of the normal production range. One of them belonged to the company chairman Victor Gauntlett, and it was used in the Bond film The Living Daylights (the car Timothy Dalton uses in a couple of scenes in England before he takes a hardtop coupe one to Czechoslovakia) http://www.astonmartins.com/v8/v8_volante_to_vantage.htm http://www.astonmartins.com/v8/v8_vantage_volante.htm
