Lot 118: Aston Martin Virage Coupe

Classic - Collectors and Historic Motor Cars, Barons (12th February 2008)

The Virage was the first completely new, production, Aston Martin since the William Towns designed DBS in 1967. The Zagato bodied Vantage was a limited edition and the Lagonda saloon was aimed at a totally different market.First seen at the 1988 London Motor Show, shortly after Ford had taken control of Aston Martin, the Virage was a direct replacement for the V8 and, though it did have an AM 5.3 litre V8 under the bonnet, the version powering the Virage had been much modified, with 32 valve heads designed by American specialists Calaway, to cope with American emmision regulations, a feat which the original V8 could not achieve. The Virage was produced in very limited numbers with around 1000 cars, which were Virage based, being produced between 1990 and 2000.This 1991example is finished in Aegean blue with cream hide, piped blue. The car is equipped with automatic transmission and is thought to have covered 55,000 miles from new, though is not warranted as such.Described as being in excellent condition and said to have recently benefited from an oil service, the car is taxed and tested through to April.
