Creating the Volante version of the Virage extended the big Aston Martin model's appeal and it came with an appropriately exclusive price tag. Today the classic market warmly embraces it. Offered here is a 1996 model (being a late car it features upgrades used in the successor V8 models) in lesser-seen Litchfield Black: body, paintwork, glass, external trim and wheels/tyres are all rated as very good and all the interior is also vendor-scored as very good, including the light grey seating, the carpets and the trim. Our vendor reports the engine to be very good for starting, running and the condition of the mechanical components and the underbonnet presentation is said to be very good. Running gear, including the four-speed automatic transmission, is reported to be very good as are axles, the suspension and the brakes.

Presented in vendor-described very good condition throughout, this Virage Volante has added appeal with its more unusual colour combination.
