Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato VEV

Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato VEV

The distinctive Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato, introduced by the company at the London Motor Show in October 1960. It was effectively a DB4 GT lightened and improved by Italian designer Ercole Spade at the Zagato factory in Italy, where an initial 25 of this grand tourer coupé were planned. Unfortunately, the demand proved disappointing and only 20 were actually made between the 1960 and 1963, which came with a straight 6-cylinder 3670 cc engine and 4-speed manual gearbox.

Our model is registered 2 VEV, sporting an attractive green body with contrasting silver and chrome trim; black interior, black dashboard with detailed dials and tan steering wheel, which features the finite detail of a bright blue steering wheel badge in the centre. Although short-lived in real life, subsequent demand for the real car has seen a few cars being turned into ‘Zagatos’ With the co-operation of both Aston Martin and the Zagato works, four further cars were produced which became known as Sanction II and Sanction III models.
