Aston Martin \Antage Zagato The last Zagato In late 1960 Aston Martin and Zagato combined forces to create an Angto/ltatian hybrid, the DB4GT Zagato. Born of a desire to produce a tightweight racer with improved aerodynamics, capabte of competing and winn'ing on any race- track, it was an intoxicating mixture of exceptionaI beauty and enhanced performance. Aston Martin's initial association with Zagato only became a sales success with the passage of time; resutts on the race track were limited at best. A number of cars remained unsold after production had ended and it wasn't until a few years later they at[ found owners. The originaI ptan was to buitd twenty five cars but production was hatted after only twenty cars were compteted; two of those Zagatos used the same chassis number! The last few cars buitt lan- guished at the Aston Martin factory untit they were sotd off cheapty to AM's Walton upon Thames deater, HWM. Many hoped the pan-European collaboration would be reprised when the V8 engined cars entered production in the 1970s. Not long after the carburettored AM V8 had been released in 1973 Autocar speculated in their Juty 12th. edi- tion whether a V8 Zagato woutd ever be buitt. lt was over a decade since the original debuted and scribes pondered the thought of another ltatian ctothed model. Subsequent financial difficutties and numerous ownership changes curtaited any development over the foltowing dec- ade. The thought of the iconic cottaboration remained firmty in the background until the future of Aston Martin coutd be assured. lt took untit 1984 before the situation was secure enough to contemplate renewing it. Twenty four years after the 1960 launch of the Zagato bodied DB4GT and thoughts once again turned to reviving the historical partnership. The nineteen originats had become the most sought after Aston Martin road cars ever buitt; many regarded them amongst the most beautiful designs ever created. Just as the Ferrari's successful 250 GT short- wheetbase Bertinetta (SWB) provided the competitive inspiration for the first Zagato, the March 1984 announcement of the 288GTO had a simitar effect on AM's decision to develop a Zagato bodied V8. A sense of relative calm had returned to Newport Pagnellin earty 1984. Sates steadity increased and the trans Attantic shareholders had set about reorganizing the company. The AML stand at the Geneva Motor Show in March was a low key affair with Peter Livanos disptaying his LHD York Red V8 Vantage (chassis number VO112400, ironicalty, after an accident that wrote it off, this car became the Vantage Zagato prototype). Atongside it were a LHD Kensington Sitver V8 Volante (15330) and a matching Lagonda (13331). Located nearby was Carrozzeria Zagato's stand, a fortui\ous co- incidence as it woutd turn out. Star of the show was Ferrari's 288GTO, one of a new breed of timited edition "homologation" speciats built to com- pete in the FIA's Group B series for circuit racing. Porsche had introduced its competitor, the 959, at the Frankfurt Motor Show a year earlier. A minimum buitd of 200 cars was required to meet the regutations and both the Porsche and Ferrari quickty sotd out. Livanos was eager to acquire the Ferrari, but being rebuffed in his efforts, suggested to Victor that they should buitd something simitar. lt was an idea Gauntlett had harbored since becoming invotved with Aston in 1980, having owned a,DB4 GT Zagato. The Zagato sland, manned by chief financial officer Guido Cantete, was entertaining the same idea and approached AML's neighbouring disptay to gauge their interest. The warm reception shown by Peter and Victor was the catalyst for a further meeting where the decision was made with the Zagato brothers to buitd the V8 Zagato. Production began in 1986 with a target of 50 production cars. A bare chassis equipped with att mechanica[ parts was shipped to Zagato in ltaty to be bodied and trimmed. Upon comptetion it woutd be returned for rectification and sates preparation in the speciaI area in the service department. Earty cars required quite a bit of remedia[ work whereas cars built in the latter hatf of 1987 were to a higher standard when received from Zagato.

Rtdtnc Felce Factory records indicate the V580X Vantage engine was built by Mike Peach using block number 110 and heads num- bered 117 on the [eft and 112 on the right side. Testing on the engine dyno was compteted on April 21987 after an hour of running in with a power output around 340bhp and no problems reported. The rotling chassis with engine and manualtransmission (numbered 090084 with a 3.54 ratio differential numbered 87A31440) was dispatched to Mitan at the end of the month. Upon comptetion in ltaty it returned to Newport Pagneltin August with the registration, E601XMJ, issued on the 25th. Final inspection, after rectification work, was compteted on September 14th 1987 by Peter Chitd. Dispatch from AML to the delivering agent, Chapman Spooner, occurred on October 1st. Upon detivery to Sheik A[ Thani, the car was based in Europe/UK and never exported to the Middte East. By Juty 1989 the Vantage Zagato had accumulated 5640 km on the odometer, with the majority of the use on Europe- an roads. In mid 1989 it was involved in a fatalaccident in Spain whitst being driven by one of the owners employees. He lost control on a winding road and plunged into a ravine. Upon return to the AML service department it was con- sidered unrepairabte, but to everyone's amazement both doors still opened and ctosed. In negotiation with the insurer, Norwich Union, it was decided to rebuild 20043 with a new chassis and body, as per the estimate of Juty 19 1989. Zagato were coming to the end of production on the Zagato Votante so a new chassis fitted with the original running gear and mechanicats was built up and sent to them for bodying.

Then founder Renzo Rivolta decided to enter into the GT cars world. After incredible success at Italy’s famed 1000-mile Mille Miglia race with Isetta winning the trophy from 1953 to 1955, IsoRivolta returned to competition in the 1960s to promote its GT cars. The most famous racer was the Grifo A3 Corsa. Its coachwork was much more radical than its street counterparts, with an engine set so far back in the bay that it was a true front mid-engine design. This model participated in races all over the world including Sebring, Reims, Montlhery, Monza, Spa and the Austrian Grand Prix, among others and won in its class at Le Mans in 1964 and 1965. In 1965 the street legal version of A3/C was designed and made by IsoRivolta having Johnny Hallyday as a very special Client. the Inspirational design The Grifo A3/C is a bare bones racecar, with a highly sensuous form language, subsequently used on other famous cars.

    Event Information Tickets Visitors Guide Charity Sponsors News & Media Gall ery CORROZZERIA ZAGATO: CARS OF THE "LIGHTNING Z" HONORED AT THE 19TH ANNUAL AMELIA CONCOURS d'ELEGANCE" Photo by Michael Furman The cars wearing Zagato's "lightning Z" badge have become classics and icons. On March 9, 2014 the 19th annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance will honor the brilliance and creativity of Ugo Zagato and his heirs with a class of Zagato-bodied cars from the likes of Ferrari, Maserati, Bugatti, Alfa Romeo, Abarth, Hispano-Suiza, FIAT, Rolls-Royce, Lancia, Lamborghini, MG, Bentley, Porsche, Spyker and even British supercar builder Aston Martin, for whom Zagato created their masterpiece, the landmark DB4 GT Zagato. "The most beautiful car is the one that wins," said Enzo Ferrari. As leader of Alfa Romeo's racing department during the 1930s, Enzo Ferrari saw fleets of Alfa Romeo racers wearing Zagato's functional and beautiful coachwork win scores of legendary road races. Sons Elio and Gianni Zagato instantly grasped their father's elegant and simple philosophy; "When we design and build something functional, it is always beautiful." Ugo Zagato signed his work with justifiable pride. His "lightning Z" badge still rides on the flanks of many of the world's most exotic, desirable, successful, beautiful and fast cars. Zagato coachwork cloaked the first Formula 1 World Champions in 1950. They wore the winners' laurels in Enzo Ferrari's favorite race, the brutal and grueling Mille Miglia, where Zagato-bodied cars earned their global reputation from the very first "1000 miles" in 1927. It began in 1919 when founder Ugo Zagato applied aircraft construction techniques to the design and creation of automobile bodies.

Illustrated on the poster, a 1951 Ferrari 212 Export Touring Barchetta (chassis 0102 E) graces the competition field early one significant Sunday morning in August. The car’s first owner, Pietro Palmieri, raced it in the Giro Delle Calabrie and the Coppa Adriatica finishing first in class and a 2nd and 4th overall. It was later loaned to and raced by Bobby Baird, leading to another class win at the RAC’s famed Tourist Trophy race in Dundrod, Ireland. The Barchetta is perhaps most­known for its appearance in the movie “The Racers,” produced by Twentieth Century­Fox in 1955 and starring Kirk Douglas. It is said that the movie’s producer, Henry Hathaway, approached Enzo Ferrari for the loan of some cars for the movie, but Enzo said “no.” Fox studios then approached Phil Hill, who helped to broker the sale of three Ferraris.
