I own for long time a Virage with Cosworth head sold new by Mayfair Lane at Hyde Park but serviced by HWM, what a fantastic garage (and fantastic history with Mr.Abecassis) still a pleasure to see the blue sticker on the windscreen !!
Nice video. would have been nice to have seen more of the interior and to have saw what he was talking about when mentioning the shape of the inside of the door jams.
Thanks for watching and for the comments - we have about 50 photos of the car on our website showing some of these amazing details. www.hwmastonmartin.co.uk
Agreed...it is hideous. Have to replace it with a good Momo or Nardi etc. The Le Mans dash is so much nicer than the burr walnut in the V550 and standard V600 which makes them look too old fashioned. Also the seat controls are a bit over the top...other than that...I love it.
...and when it first came out it had two skinny exhaust pipes to compliment that bloody awful steering wheel, for a hand built V8 with twin superchargers you would have thought a better-looking exhaust combo would have been nicer, and of course the V600 Le Mans was the icing on the cake.@@GM-fh5jp
If you look at the history of the V8 model, it had intentions of gaining sales in the US so in many ways a British hand-built muscle car and naturally a very different price range.
If at all possible, bring Wadders back for some more; his knowledge, enthusiasm and the anecdotes about the marque are superb.
Yes, we love having Steve at the dealership. It is a long drive for him but we are always grateful to him for visiting.
One of the coolest cars ever made imo. Twin superchargers are NUTS.
Yes, we love the fact that the team at Aston Martin were mad enough to want to make it!

The Virage is such a handsome car. Thank you for being our customer and for watching!

Fabulous car, one of my all-time favorites, apart from the steering wheel😂

Beautiful car
An all time great!
Last of the Newport Pagnell hand built beasts ............ The last car I built wiring harnesses for before I left the company
That's fantastic, Nigel. Thanks for sharing. What incredible memories you must have of that time with Aston Martin.
Looks Mustang-ish

With class !
