Description
This 1993 Aston Martin Virage Volante showcased here is a rare British convertible grand tourer, distinguished by its unique factory paint finish and detailed service history at authorised dealerships, including regular maintenance at Aston Martin Works. This vehicle is equipped with a 5. 3-liter V8 engine, producing 330 horsepower, and has only travelled 44, 462 miles, indicating its low mileage. Originally sold in Jersey, this Virage Volante is one of 233 units ever made, with 85 produced in 1993, and it is the only one finished in the specially requested Porsche Amazon Green colour with a custom interior.
This vehicle is offered in superb, highly original, and unrestored condition and has been meticulously stored in a custom-built temperature and humidity-controlled facility since 2017 to preserve its remarkable state. The seller invites interested parties to inspect the car in person and assures that it is impeccably presented throughout. Externally, the Virage Volante features the factory-custom Porsche Amazon Green paint complemented by a black 'mohair' convertible roof. Inside, the Magnolia leather-trimmed interior is adorned with bespoke headrest cushions, Spruce Green piping and upper dashboard, matching carpets, and burl walnut trim inlays. The vehicle rides on the correct set of 17-inch five-spoke alloy wheels with original Avon Turbospeed CR228-D tyres. Noteworthy factory specifications include cruise control, a multifunctional steering wheel, an electrically operated convertible roof, switchable sport mode, air conditioning, and electrically adjustable and heated front seats. A modern Kenwood stereo with Bluetooth, USB, and auxiliary inputs has been installed. The car comes with its original owner's handbooks, tools, service books, original sales receipts, a heritage certificate, a Magnolia and Spruce-piped tonneau cover, two sets of keys, the build sheet, and extensive additional service paperwork detailing the vehicle's history. There has been no reported bodywork damage, and the Porsche Amazon Green paintwork is said to be in excellent overall condition, with only minor stone chips on the front valance that have been fixed by Aston Works, Newport Pagnell. The interior of the cabin remains in superb condition, showing minimal signs of wear, mainly limited to slight wear on the driver's seat edge and minor discoloration around the handbrake lever. The most recent MOT test in May 2022 resulted in a successful first-time pass at 44, 188 miles, with no warnings or advisories. The latest service, conducted in June 2022 at 44, 188 miles by Aston Martin Works, Newport Pagnell, included an oil and oil filter change, along with the replacement of a fuel hose.

Noteworthy maintenance also includes replacement soundproofing and extensive detailing work carried out by Aston Martin Works, with technicians consistently praising the car's impressive condition during their inspections. This Virage Volante boasts an extensive service history, with maintenance visits documented mainly at Aston Martin Works, as well as at Marque Specialists at various intervals.
