Footnotes

The production Virage Volante debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1991. The electrically powered hood was beautifully made and incorporated a glass rear window, complete with heated de-misting elements. Mechanically the Volante remained much the same as its closed cousin, though with slightly lower final drive gearing to aid acceleration through the gears. Top speed was slightly reduced, to a still outstanding 150mph, making the Virage Volante one of the world's fastest soft-tops. Automatic transmission was standard on the Volante, the original three-speeder being superseded in 1993 by a new four-speed dual-mode (normal/sport) unit. The five-speed manual 'box continued to be available as an option.

An automatic transmission model, this Virage Volante was built to German specification and delivered to Kroymans in September 1994 finished in Porsche Nachtblau metallic with dark blue interior trim and matching mohair hood. Subsequently registered in the Netherlands, the Aston was purchased by the current owner from Fine Classic Automobiles in August 2007. It has since been on static display and will require recommissioning prior to road use.
A copy of the purchase invoice is on file and the car also comes with copies of sundry bills and its Car Record Card, plus original Netherlands registration papers and two remote controls.

Please note that if this vehicle remains within the Netherlands, it will be subject to import duty at 10% (+VAT) and 21% Import VAT on the hammer price. Import rates to other EU Country's may vary for VAT rate and an administration fee will be charged to prepare the necessary customs clearances. Please note that if you purchase as an EU Company, the VAT amount will be calculated based on your registered countries rate. If you have any questions regarding customs clearance, please contact the Bonhams Motorcar Department or our recommended shippers.
