Sadly not some ideal holiday location but the Cygnet section of the Aston Martin classifieds.

What has amazed me is how many are POA. Judging by the fact that some are demo miles and already at £24k + I'm guessing that an offer is on the cards.

The worrying thing is that it's almost becoming appealing at these prices! Or am I alone in that thought...

The CCM brakes alone are about £10k aren't they? I reckon at £120k it's fairly priced imo (although I would like them to be substantially lower!).
That's almost the problem with the Virage. At launch it was set aside from the DB9 with CCM brakes, Garmin sat nav and welt leather features rolleyes but now that all models can come with Garmin it's only the CCM brakes that set it aside from the DB9 and a £10k retrofit to the DB9 would still make it cheaper than a Virage! You could probably remap a DB9 to make up the additional 20 bhp for under the price of a Virage too. Maybe you could change the headlights in the difference...

That's a shame, a Rapide would be great with them. I wonder whether it's just a worry of tinkering with braking systems rather than an incompatibility.
