Registration no. C9 AMV
Chassis no. SCFCAMLSOLBR50029
Engine no. 89/50029/M

Launched at the International Motor Show, Birmingham, in October 1988, the sensational newcomer re-stated its Aston Martin V8 forerunner's muscular good looks in the modern idiom, contriving to be slightly narrower yet providing increased interior space. The car was still no lightweight, but with 330bhp on tap courtesy of the trusty V8 engine's new 32-valve top end, was good enough for a top speed approaching 160mph and a 0-60mph time of under seven seconds. Running on unleaded fuel and designed to meet the requirements of a more emissions sensitive world, the fuel-injected, catalytic converter-equipped V8 was suitable for all Aston Martin markets. The Virage continued Aston Martin's tradition of fine craftsmanship with its hand beaten aluminium body and fine leather upholstery, complimenting the highest standards of modern technology applied to the design of chassis and engine. One of 426 Virages produced between 1988 and 1995, this automatic transmission model is finished in wine red metallic with special-order red/black interior, mesh front grille and sports exhaust upgrade. Described as in generally good condition, the car has covered 59,970 miles from new and is offered with current MoT, Swansea V5 document and full service history.
