When Aston Martin presented the Virage in 1989, a new model based on the shortened Lagonda Series 2 chassis, probably nobody in Great Britain had any idea how long this basic model would remain in production. This wasn’t least due to the fact that the brand was in the meantime financially so badly off that from 1989 to 1992, 345 units were produced, followed by only 20 more until 1996. Although the sports car manufacturer already was a part of the Ford group, it only received financial support for the development of a new smaller model based on the Jaguar XK, which eventually made its debut as the DB7 in 1994. In order to keep the brand afloat until then, Aston Martin produced special versions of the Virage in their Service Department at the customer’s request, which at least flushed a little money into the account due to their high prices.<\/p>\n\n\n
