Lot 1
Formerly the property of Sir Elton John- 1991 Aston Martin Virage 2 door coupe, chassis number 50182, engine number 89/50182/, reg. no. A3 VHB. Powered by a 5340cc V8 engine and coupled to an automatic gear box, the Virage was a byword for speed, luxury and exclusivity. 426 Virages were produced between 1988 and 1995, ‘50182’ was ordered new by Sir Elton John and registered in the name of his company, William A Bong Ltd. The car, very much to Sir Elton's personal requirements was finished in a Rolls Royce colour (Seychelles Blue), with a blue piped cream leather interior and a bespoke Sony sound system was also fitted at a cost of nearly £5,000. All meaning the total cost new was £129,950. After Sir Elton sold the car in 1997, it passed between private owners, with the car passing to its current keeper following the death of his father. In recent years the car has seen limited use, with the last MOT expiring on 21st October 2020. The estimated mileage is around 14,000 miles only, however the car has a fault which has caused the mileage to jump up by itself (see recent MOT's). During this period of its life, time has caught up with the car and currently it does not run, although turns over freely. It now needs an enthusiastic new owner to give it the time and attention such a fabulous car deserves. Supplied with V5, two keys and an extensive history file. (Subject to 12% buyers premium inclusive of VAT).
