I had the chance to look at one of only 19 DB4 GT Zagato's at the weekend. The thing is the most beautiful car I have ever seen. Stunning! Last time this car was sold it fetched a cool £4m... I think it might take me a while to save up!

Lovely cars.

My money would still go into a 250GT SWB though. The lines are that bit sharper.

No, awful! That does nothing for me. I much prefer my Vantage.

Other than the PistonHeads Reg Plate, I'm afraid I've never been able to appreciate older cars.

Give me a DBS or a V12V any day.

Lol... very good Di. Seems you must have had some rain yesterday and you car has shrunk. Was not like that on Sunday!!

I must admit I don't normally like classic cars but I was very taken by the Zagato. I also quite like the DB7 Zagato as well... probably more in my price range too smile

Great looking little fun car Di,now someone at Gaydon may be ringing for the patent on your Cygnet replacement.
It's small and compact,well appointed,sporty and it looks like an Aston........ jester

Al, I too thought the Zagato was stunning and, as good as they are, I don't think that the pictures do it justice. I particularly liked the view from the front, head on. A beautiful car.

However, if I had £1M in my pocket to spend on a car (let alone £4M) I would spend it in a different way.

This is my personal favourite looking Aston:




But they have been so many great looking cars. Cant think of a single truly ugly car they have made..until the Cygnet

As it happens that very car was being driven and filmed by Richard Meaden the next day and I couldn't help but follow it down the road for a few miles as I left works service. A bit of high end stalking for you but I will most likely never get to see a DB4 Zagato on the road ever again!

oh, if anyone didnt know saturday 30th april at silverstone is the amoc race day. You dont have to be a member to attend, just pay on the gate as normal and watch the racing, plus the paddock with road cars in. Usually a few DB4 Gt Zagato racing, plus maybe Project 212, 215 etc etc
