39,500 miles; powered by the mighty 5,340cc V8 engine coupled to an automatic
transmission; highly desirable registration number AMV 4S; the marque's flagship
grand tourer of the early 1990s
Few cars embody the hand-built charm
and exclusivity of Aston Martin quite so effectively as the Virage Volante.
Produced in relatively small numbers and representing the marque's flagship
grand tourer of the early 1990s, the Virage combined effortless V8 performance
with elegant open-top motoring and remains one of the most charismatic Aston
Martins of the modern era.
First registered in June 1992, this beautiful
Aston Martin Virage Volante is powered by the mighty 5,340cc V8 engine coupled
to an automatic transmission, a combination perfectly suited to the car's grand
touring character. Delivering effortless performance accompanied by a glorious
V8 soundtrack, it offers exactly the sort of relaxed yet purposeful driving
experience for which Aston Martin became renowned.
Finished in a
beautiful shade of metallic blue with a matching dark blue mohair hood and
complemented by a grey leather interior, this Virage presents in a wonderfully
elegant colour combination that suits its timeless lines perfectly. With the
hood raised or lowered, it remains an exceptionally handsome motor car and one
guaranteed to attract admiring glances wherever it
appears.
Showing around 39,500 miles a common issue with these is
the mileage only showing on the display when it feels like it, the car is
accompanied by an impressive history file which includes the V5C, MOT valid
until June 2027, 17 previous MOT certificates, nine service stamps, the original
handbook, sales brochures and a collection of invoices documenting maintenance
and upkeep over the years.
The current V5C records eight former keepers,
while adding further to its appeal is the inclusion of the highly desirable
registration number AMV 4S, a plate that could scarcely be more appropriate for
an Aston Martin Volante.
The Virage occupies an important place in Aston
Martin history, bridging the gap between the handcrafted Newport Pagnell cars of
old and the more modern era that followed. Today, these cars are increasingly
appreciated for their rarity, presence and analogue driving experience,
qualities that are becoming ever more difficult to find.
Combining low
mileage, handsome specification, extensive history and one of the most evocative
registration numbers imaginable, this Virage Volante represents a rare
opportunity to acquire a truly special Aston Martin. Elegant, exclusive and
immensely charismatic, it is a car equally suited to continental touring,
concours lawns or simply enjoying on a sunny afternoon with the V8 burbling in
the background.
