This particular 5 speed manual car was destined for South Africa but I believe it never actually got exported. The AM Heritage ‘Ronal like’ wheels are a recent addition as the car would probably have had BBS cross spoke wheels originally. I caught up with this ultra-rare car at the AMOC St. George’s Day parade in Windsor in 2005.
It must also be said that a number of Volantes have been converted to Vantage specification by either the factory of AM specialists following initial build.
