The Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante is definitely go, according to Auto Express magazine.

Following our story on 9 August, the magazine has confirmed that Ford has trade-marked the design of the car, which features a 4.3-litre V8 and a soft top, with the Patent Office.

It hits the streets in 2007, and will reportedly cost £5,000 more than the £79,000 list price of the coupé.
