The production Virage Volante debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1991. The electrically powered hood was beautifully made and incorporated a glass rear window, complete with heated de-misting elements. Mechanically the Volante remained much the same as its closed cousin, though with slightly lower final drive gearing to aid acceleration through the gears. Top speed was slightly reduced, to a still outstanding 150mph, making the Virage Volante one of the world's fastest soft-tops. Automatic transmission was standard on the Volante, the original three-speeder being superseded in 1993 by a new four-speed dual-mode (normal/sport) unit. The five-speed manual 'box continued to be available as an option.
An automatic transmission model, this Virage Volante was built to German specification and delivered to Kroymans in September 1994 finished in Porsche Nachtblau metallic with dark blue interior trim and matching mohair hood. Subsequently registered in the Netherlands, the Aston was purchased by the current owner from Fine Classic Automobiles in August 2007. It has since been on static display and will require recommissioning prior to road use.
A copy of the purchase invoice is on file and the car also comes with copies of sundry bills and its Car Record Card, plus original Netherlands registration papers and two remote controls.
