Virage Volante

In October 1988, a new sports car called the Virage was announced; while it did not deny its heritage, it nevertheless looked significantly different from its predecessor. Compared to its predecessor, the design of the Virage—unveiled to the public in Birmingham in late 1988—was noticeably more elongated and featured very few curves.

The Virage made a huge splash—just a few weeks after its unveiling, Aston Martin announced that production through 1992 was already sold out, even though manufacturing hadn’t even begun yet. The convertible version of the model line was traditionally designated “Volante.” It was unveiled in September 1990 at the Birmingham Motor Show.

The Aston Martin Virage Volante offered here was first registered in Germany on June 9, 1996, and was delivered to its proud first owner by Auto König in Berlin on July 4 of that year. At the time, the owner had to pay the dealer approximately CHF 360,000 for this exclusive convertible, which featured a 5.3-liter V8 engine producing 310 PS, an automatic transmission, air conditioning, a power convertible top, and the finest leather interior. Probably around 1998, with about 10,000 km on the odometer, the Aston was sold to a second owner. He used the car at his vacation home in Marbella and brought it to his residence in Ticino at the end of 2005. In July 2006, the Virage was officially introduced and registered in Switzerland. Finally, in July 2010, the current owner acquired the elegant convertible, which had just under 29,000 km on the odometer at the time. He enjoyed driving his Aston Martin and covered about 20,000 km in it on sunny days. Of course, he also ensured it received regular maintenance, as the existing receipts show.

For example, shortly after the purchase—in addition to the regular service—both ignition distributors and the rubber gaskets, which had been damaged by intense sunlight, were replaced. In 2022, just over 1,000 km ago, the ignition control modules were repaired, and the fuel injection pressure sensors and TDC sensors were replaced. In July 2026—about 100 km ago—both catalytic converters were overhauled, with the ceramic inserts replaced by more robust metal components. The car also received four new tires and a service that included new spark plugs. With 49,975 km on the odometer, this rare Aston Martin Virage Volante—only 234 of which were built between 1992 and 1997—is in good to very good condition with normal signs of wear. The air conditioning is not working and should be repaired by a specialist. The last vehicle inspection (MFK) was conducted in July 2026, meaning this elegant British car can be registered immediately.
