1994 Aston Martin Virage — Manual, LHD
Hand-built at Newport Pagnell — the rare left-hand-drive V8 Virage with the coveted ZF manual gearbox.
The story
The Virage was Aston Martin's hand-built flagship of the early 1990s: a 5.3-litre V8 grand tourer assembled by craftsmen at Newport Pagnell, trimmed in Connolly hide and real walnut.
This 1994 car combines the two rarest and most desirable attributes — left-hand drive and the 5-speed ZF manual gearbox — making it far more engaging to drive than the automatic majority, and correspondingly more valuable to collectors.
Highlights
- Rare 5-speed ZF manual — far scarcer than the automatic
- Left-hand drive: ideal for Continental use
- 5.3 L V8, approx. 330 bhp, 250 km/h
- Hand-built at Newport Pagnell with Connolly hide and walnut
- Appreciating collector value, especially in manual form
