Aston Martin Zagato - apparent to be a perfect Italo-Brit-Relation from A to Z

From the visual effect the "Aston Martin Zagato" is uniting power
and elegance in such a harmonic manner, as they always belonged together. So no wonder that even a Jaguar Enthusiast (editor) had
to fell in love with this extraordinary dream machine and had to
take up her trail. As the editors interest is still going on, the existing
Jaguar collecting mania in the meantime had to be extended to this very special Aston Martin model, but fortunately only to books and scale models.

Donington 2001: Jaguar XKE models as far as the eyes could see, but the most exiting “picnicker” was placed at the Aston Martin - division.

In the meantime the editors independent search of the right model designation ended with a success. We are dealing with an "Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato" as introduced in 1960 on the London Motor Show at Earls Court. Unfortunately only 19 models were sold, caused by the competition of the reasonable Jaguar XKE model, but likewise ensuring todays excellent exclusiveness. Despite its commercial failure the Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato has achieved cult status and its worth is 6 Aston Martin DB4GTs.
