Introduced at the 1988 Birmingham Motor Show, the Virage was Aston Martin's replacement for the decades old V8 models. The Virage was launched as the top of the range car for Aston Martin. It is easy to see why this handbuilt, all aluminium V8 was king of the Astons. The 32 valve, 5.3 litre engine elevated the performance of the Virage to near sports car level. It was stated by Sports Car International on an early test that 'acceleration just never seems to run out' and they also praised 'the eager and quicker revving' nature of the engine, with its Callaway designed heads and Weber-Marelli fuel injection. They concluded that 'nothing sounds quite like an Aston V8'.
A handsome Aston Martin Virage presents well in British Racing Green over a cream leather interior, and we are informed has benefitted from much renovation works over the years with a recent recommission and serviced. In its previous tenure we are informed the car has been treated to an extensive engine rebuild and a front end rebuild including suspension components. Upgraded 18” alloy wheels have also been fitted and are shod with good tyres all round. We are informed in 2023 the car was fitted a new steering rack, new fuel injectors and primary fuel pump. The history file contains an Aston Martin enthusiast book and original sales literature coupled to an MoT test certificate valid until June 2025 and a V5C registration document. An example of the Virage with room for improvement but competitively priced to give the margin for a new owner to do so. Consigned by Mathew Priddy.
