AS if Aston Martin’s shatteringly quick Virage was not fast enough, the Newport Pagnall company has announced a performance conversion package for the ardent speed freak.


The new conversion kit boosts


power output by 60%, raising the top speed from 155 mph to 175 and reduc­ ing the 0-60 time to just 5.5 seconds.


Engine capacity is increased by a


litre to 6.3 litres, bhp goes fro™ ^10 to 500 and to harness all those extra horses, Aston Martin insists on a host


of modifications to the b™k e s t bodywork, suspension, wheels and


tyres.; The conversion can be undertaken unaercaKe


only by Aston Martin engineers at the factory and will mean the car is off the road for up to 12 weeks.


The kit includes fitting of new ven­


tilated front wheel disc brakes — the largest ever fitted to any production car — and before the car is returned to its owner, it is subject to a rigorous testing programme at the Millbrook Proving Ground, close to Aston Mar­


tin HQ. But to put your Virage or Volante


in for this intensive body-building course will cost more than the average service — more than the average car for that matter — a snip at just £60,000.


rtlJus^ W U| s p e c ta c u la r THE biggest collection of


classic cars ever seen under one roof in the North of England will come together at the end of this month when the 12th Northern Classic Car Show comes to Manches­


ter’s G-Mex. In all more than 300


classic veteran and vintage vehicles will be on display covering all aspects of our motoring heritage. Over 70 clubs will be exhibiting, including such famous marques as MG, Jaguar, Austin Healey and Tri­ umph. There will also be a special feature from last year’s best club winner, the Triumph Stag Owners


Club. As well as spectacular


car displays, there will be numerous trade stands selling parts, accessories, literature and automobilia, lots of classic car dealers and a huge autojumble where old and second hand parts can be searched out. On Monday, August


30th, there will be a classic car auction, when more than 801ots will come under the hammer, rang­ ing from basic restoration “h eap s” to exp en s iv e dream cars.


Last year, more than


24,000 people attended the show, and it’s anticipated that even more people will visit the event this year.


The exhibition is open


on August 29th and 30th, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Man­ chester’s G-Mex Centre. Further details are avail­ a b le by t e le p h o n in g 0272701370.

event organisers Nation­ wide Exhibitions Limited.

the near-standard racing version of the world’s fastest production car fought oil a strong challenge from traditional rival Porsche to claim first place.


Developed from the production version ot .


the Jaguar XJ220, the racing version is actually slower than the road-going model to meet the stringent regulations governing


the GT racing category. The driving was shared between Jon .Niel­


sen from Denmark, Scotland’s David


Cou’lthard and Australian David Brabham. David’s famous father, Sir Jack Brabham,


was in the pits to watch his son dunng the race, and the former world champion and four times Le Mans competitor was the first


to congratulate him after the race.


“Dad told me it was a tough race to win, said David. “Now I believe him.”
