1990 Aston Martin Virage

Highlights

Recent import to be offered with UK road registration
Appears highly original throughout
Reportedly drives smoothly

The Appeal

The Virage was Aston Martin’s flagship model, positioned above the all-new DB7 and boasting the enviable status of being entirely hand-built in Newport Pagnell. It was also one of the final appearances for Tadek Marek’s glorious quad-cam V8. So in many ways, the Virage marked the end of an era.

This left-hand drive 1990 example has recently arrived back on UK shores and is currently undergoing registration. While it’s yet to be driven on UK roads, the vendor has found that it appears to drive well, running smoothly and going through the gears correctly. The Virage appears very original and well-preserved throughout and the vendor comments that it appears free from notable imperfections.

For those seeking an old-school V8-engined Aston Martin GT, a Virage is well worth a look and this one would be a great option.
