Never before offered to market, this 1 owner, right hand drive V12 Zagato, in this sensationally stealthy colour combination is set to cause a stir at our showroom.

Aston Martin and Zagato, an iconic partnership, 60 years in the making. Since the start of the famed relationship in 1960 with 19 examples of one of the most beautiful and lusted after motorcars of all time, the DB4 GT Zagato, a further 5 models (and derivatives) have been offered, always in limited numbers and always in high demand. It is our opinion that the model that most closely replicates the spirit of the DB4GT Zagato is the V12 Zagato, announced in 2011 and build between 2012-2013.

Announced to the world in 2011, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Aston Martin and the Italian coachbuilder, Zagato’s historic partnership, the V12 Zagato delivers a unique combination of race-proven handling and performance, rarity and fastidious attention to detail, both inside and out and is destined (if not already) to be one of the most highly coveted models in the marque’s history.

Elegant, yet brutal, the V12 Zagato is a forward thinking Zagato which respects the past. Clothed in lightweight hand-rolled aluminium and carbon fibre body panels which involved 2,000 hours of craftmanship for each car. The sculpted aluminium ‘double bubble’ roof and bulging haunches, both Zagato hallmarks, along with the stunning ‘Z’ pattern front grille all leave you in no doubt that this is a Zagato, while the rear wing, diffuser and splitter, all formed from carbon fibre, give the car a purposeful and menacing appearance.

The V12 Zagato is built upon the highly respected V12 Vantage platform with 510bhp / 570 NM of torque coming from the 6.0 litre V12 Engine, mated, to the delight of ‘drivers’, to a 6-speed manual gearbox. With a lighter weight, courtesy of its smaller frame and use of weight saving materials, means the V12 Zagato is as fast as it looks.

In total, just 61 production V12 Zagato’s were built and supplied by the middle of 2013, many of which now form part of the most important collections, around the globe. The menacing example, we are now delighted to offer, is finished in AML Carbon Black with Obsidian black semi aniline hides. Red Aston Martin Wings badges providing a dramatic contrast with the bodywork.

In addition to the Zagato specifications, optional extras include Full gloss black wheels, carbon fibre A-pillars and door mirrors, black textured tailpipe finishers and black brake calipers and heated sports seats. Registered since birth in the Channel Islands and owned by a marque enthusiast. This car is now VAT qualifying (meaning that the next owner, if intending to register in the UK, will be required to pay VAT on the purchase price). During his ownership, maintenance of the car has been carried out the Aston Martin agent in Jersey.

Having covered just 1,760 miles from new, the car is in immaculate condition throughout, benefitting from professionally applied Ceramic paint protection and is now available for viewing at our Hertfordshire showrooms.
