The seller offers for sale this 1994 Aston Martin Virage Volante 5.3 V8, a luxurious open-top grand tourer powered by a robust 5.3-litre V8 engine mated to an automatic transmission. With only 31,490 km and documentation confirming the mileage, this car presents as a rare and low-mileage example. It retains its original left-hand drive configuration and is one of approximately 112 LHD Virage Volantes built—out of a total production of just 224 units—making it particularly desirable among collectors.
The Aston Martin Virage was introduced in 1989 as the marque’s new flagship. Replacing the aging V8 models of the 1970s, the Virage featured a hand-built 5.3L V8 and updated styling that retained classic Aston proportions. The Volante version, unveiled in the early 1990s, offered open-air motoring with grand touring comfort. While the Virage was not produced in large numbers, it served as a bridge between the classic Aston Martins of the past and the more modern DB7 that would follow.
This Volante variant represents the pinnacle of Aston Martin’s coachbuilt tradition, combining old-school craftsmanship with muscular performance. Built in limited numbers and featuring hand-formed aluminium bodywork, these cars appealed to a niche clientele seeking exclusivity and comfort over outright sportiness. The Virage was produced during a challenging time for Aston Martin, just before Ford took full control, making each car a symbol of the brand’s resilience and boutique charm.
Given its low production, left-hand drive configuration, and condition, this example offers potential as both a collectible and usable classic. The combination of rarity, V8 power, and open-top elegance makes it an appealing proposition for enthusiasts of British motoring heritage.
