The five-speed ZF manual was only fitted to about 40% of Virage, with the car’s driving attributes lending themselves more to the popular automatic option of Chrysler's three-speed Torqueflite transmission.</span></p><p><span style="orphans: 2; background-color: transparent;">"Acceleration just never seems to run out", claimed Sports Car International on a first test. They also praised the "eager and quicker revving" nature of the engine and were generally mightily impressed with the whole package: "The new car outperforms the old in every respect. It's quicker, sharper handling, more refined and has an astonishingly good ride. It's better made, too. The factory's craftsmanship is legendary, but now it is allied to 1990s standards of quality and reliability’’. Costing £135,000 at launch, by the end of the 2000 model year, just 1,050 Virage related models were produced in total, quite a low production number when compared to some of its predecessors.</span></p><p><span style="orphans: 2; background-color: transparent;">The car presented here is a 1990 Virage Automatic offered from a small private collection and looks fabulous finished in the tasteful and classic colour combination of Buckinghamshire Green with contrasting green-piped Magnolia leather and dark green carpets. During its later years it has been maintained by classic specialists, 'Classic and Iconic' ensuring it has been maintained to the best of health and in “A1 condition” in the words of our vendor. </span><span style="background-color: transparent;">At significant cost, he has recently commissioned a complete repaint of the exterior, new carpets, all wheels refurbished, new correct spec Avon Turbo-Speed tyres, a new air conditioning compressor, brakes and sundry engine works. Additionally, a mileage-appropriate, service was completed in July 2017 and the car has covered very few miles since. The MOT is valid until March 2019.</span></p><p><span style="orphans: 2; background-color: transparent;">Now with some 52,000 miles on the clock, and said to drive as beautifully as it looks, this handsome Virage is attractively guided and offers really affordable ownership of a classic and distinguished nineties British muscle car.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">.</span></p><p style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-color: transparent; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position-x: 0%; background-position-y: 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> </p><p style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-color: transparent; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position-x: 0%; background-position-y: 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> </p><p><strong></strong><em></em></p>
