I am really enjoying my Virage and having previously owned a V8V roadster it is a very different experience. I would go get the one you have seen and enjoy it. Mine was the original AML 1, go and have a look at the fifth gear Aston Martin Virage video on you tube.
Watching that Fifth Gear review and it looks like your Virage has the carbon fibre Lightweight seats. If that's right then it's a nice touch and must be an incredibly rare, if not unique spec. I've always loved Madagascar Orange and nearly bought a V12V in that colour twice.

It’s called Madagascar Orange
nice - seeing yours made me look at BCA and they have one for sale in 'safe' grey - with 40k miles and 5 owners.....and a very shiny drivers seat !

I have to admit it looked very boring in that colour compared to yours - you have a truly fantastic colour there.

2+0 configuration as well?

Thanks for the comments. Yes it does have lightweight seats and is trimmed as a 2+0. They look great and are surprisingly comfortable although they made changing the battery more of a challenge as they don’t fold like normal seats.
