Morning,

Looking for a bit of advice please. I have the potential to purchase an early nineties Aston Martin Virage from a friend of the family. I am wondering if anyone can help with what it is potentially worth and where I can get it looked after.

It was purchased new by the current owner and he has had it looked after by the factory. It is I believe a stage 3 or 4 Virage having had various upgrade done to it at Newport Pagnell. It is manual, dark blue with grey leather. and done around 20k miles. As you can imagine it is immaculate.

What should I offer for it? I live near Stourbridge in the West Midlands. Are there any independent service specialists nearby and what kind of servicing cost would I be looking at?

Many thanks

Best place for 1990's Virage advice is AMOC (Aston Martin Owners Club). Most of the knowledge on PH is around the Gaydon era cars, with a few exceptions. If you buy it post some pictures up here though

Neil is correct you will get better advise from the AMOC site.........i think it's fair to say that you would need deep pockets to keep it on the road.....perhaps you should ask him what kind of bills he has paid on it in recent years......good luck smile
