Aston Martin Valour
2023-2024 · Aston Martin Valour — Grand Tourer, V12 Twin-Turbo, designed by Marek Reichman.
The Story
The Valour is Aston’s love letter to the analogue driver, built to mark the company’s 110th anniversary in 2023. It takes the 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 (705 bhp) and – astonishingly – bolts it to a 6-speed MANUAL gearbox, by Aston’s reckoning the first turbo V12 ever paired with three pedals.
Styled with deliberate 1970s muscle – a nod to the 1977 V8 Vantage and the one-off Victor – it has exposed metal, plaid seats and a gearlever milled like jewellery. Just 110 were built, all sold instantly; the track-focused Valiant grew out of it.

Studio Buyer’s Brief
A sold-out 110-car collectible, so condition, mileage and a desirable Q spec drive everything. The manual gearbox is the whole point – confirm it’s unmodified and the heritage trim (plaid, exposed metal) is intact. Appreciating from new.
