The Aston Martin Virage Volante: besides its imposing name, it is one of the fastest convertibles of its time. Partly due to its small production run of only about 230 examples, the model is a coveted and valuable youngtimer today. This example was delivered new on 14 May 1993 in Hamburg by Aston Martin dealer 'Car & Driver GMBH'. It now comes from this owner who has maintained the car at an Aston Martin specialist. This is entered in the original service booklet, in which other servicing is also noted. It is clear to see that the Aston Martin has always been owned by enthusiasts: it is in very good condition. This is also evident from a German valuation report from 2021: the car was assessed as good to excellent in every respect (bodywork/ chassis, paintwork, chrome and trim parts, seals, glass, tyres, interior seating, engine compartment, engine and boot). The colour combination of black paintwork 'Cannock Black' and red interior with black stitching is beautiful and stylish, unlike many other examples with often striking colours. This hand-built Virage is equipped with a 5. 3-litre V8 that produces 335 hp and the car sprints to 100 km/ h in 6. 0 seconds. A fantastic combination of sportiness and comfort. Besides being a great driver's car, this is a 'gentleman's car'.

General information about the Aston Martin Virage Volante
The 2+2 Virage succeeded the two-door V8 in 1989. It was the first completely new Aston Martin model in 20 years. Demand was immediately high: the first production years were sold out in no time. This model was a big step forward looking at safety, comfort and performance. It was the expensive and hand-built flagship of the Aston Martin range and was succeeded by the Vanquish in 2000. Some parts were borrowed from other cars, for example the headlights were taken from an Audi 200 and the rear lights from a Volkswagen Scirocco. The body is built from aluminium. The engine was also hand-built by Tenny Durston. This engine was praised for its performance and fantastic sound. Many celebrities owned a Virage, including Rowan Atkinson, Lennox Lewis, Elton John and Chris Eubank. The convertible 'Volante' version was built from 1992, of which only about 230 were built and 120 of which were left-hand drive. A good one is therefore becoming increasingly scarce and they have risen in price in recent years.
