Updating the ethos of previous Aston Martin models and re-working that philosophy, the Virage Volante's hedonistic mix of continent-crossing power and bold looks ensured its popularity when new as well as in today's modern classic movement. This Cumberland Grey/Magnolia hide Virage Volante was first registered to a Mrs Light in Surrey in 1993 and was bought by the vendor exactly four years later. As would be expected, the car has been carefully looked after (and not modified), being kept in a heated dehumidified garage since then. To date it has covered 31,000 miles and every service (to 30,000 miles) is stamped.
Careful ownership has ensured the paint, bodywork, trim and glass remain in outstanding condition and the interior in very good interior form. The Virage sports both grey and magnolia half tonneau hood covers, both in very good condition. Interested parties should note the full Aston Martin tool set as well as unused spare tyre and changing mat are with the car, as is a workshop manual and two sets of keys. Its starting and running, along with underbonnet presentation, is said to be very good, again reflecting the attention the vendor has lavished on the car over 23 years. Running gear and the electrical components are in commensurate order and this is amply demonstrated by the car's most recent trip to the Italian lakes. Now only being sold as the owner is reducing his collection, this lovely Virage Volante should delight its new owner.
