Lagonda Virage Saloon

The Lagonda Virage Saloon was a long-wheelbase four-door car built by Aston Martin Works Service from 1994 on the basis of the Aston Martin Virage. It revived the Lagonda name, which Aston Martin had left dormant as its second marque, and it was made only to customer orders. The chassis was extended by 12 inches, and two cars were ordered with an 18 inch extension. The sources put production at eight or nine cars, some of them conversions of regular Virages, and six were ordered by the royal family of Brunei. It cost about 250,000 pounds. The name refers back to the four-door Aston Martin Lagonda of the 1970s and 1980s, and Grace's Guide describes these Virage based saloons and shooting brakes as the most recent cars to wear a Lagonda badge.
