Amongst the most celebrated partnerships in the automotive world,
Aston Martin and Zagato have only collaborated a handful of times
over the course of both companies' illustrious histories, but those
automobiles that they have created together are considered to be
amongst the most desirable Aston Martins in existence.
This was to be no different for the introduction of the Vanquish
Zagato, first unveiled in 2016 at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa
d'Este on the shores of Lake Como. The Vanquish Zagato bears a
number of design hallmarks from its coachbuilder, including
Zagato's famous 'double bubble' roof and signature wraparound
glass. Elements such as the grille shape and side strake that runs
from the wheel arch to the door remain wholly Aston Martin; hints
of the track-only Vulcan and road-going One-77 shine through in the
'bladed' LED taillights and the side mirrors that appear to float
in the air.
Despite the car's very much one-off flair, Aston Martin approved
the Vanquish Zagato for limited production, alongside Vanquish
Zagatos in convertible, roadster, and shooting-brake body styles.
Only 99 of each would be built at Aston Martin's Gaydon,
Warwickshire, factory, with each example being individually
numbered.
Delivered new to its native UK market in February of 2017 and
offered from the collection of its first and only owner, this
Vanquish Zagato Coup� is finished in Scorching Black paintwork and
features the desirable Villa d'Este package, an option costing over
£16,000. This package consists of badges, wheel spokes, and side
strakes finished in gold, a theme which is continued within the
car, and the dashboard vents, centre console switchgear, and
steering wheel also feature gold trim. Inside, the car boasts black
aniline leather with brown highlights and a colour-keyed One-77
steering wheel.
Amazingly, the car has been driven only 22 miles as of cataloguing
and remains in virtually as-new condition throughout. Invoices on
file show that the car has been serviced regularly by HWM Aston
Martin, once for its first service in May of 2018 and for an annual
service exactly one year later this May.
Beautifully blending Italian style and British craftsmanship, the
Vanquish Zagato will surely remain desirable for years to come and
will be remembered as a worthy addition to Aston Martin and
Zagato's respective r�sum�s. This well-specified example certainly
stands out from its peers and would be a thrilling addition to any
collection of Aston Martin, Zagato-designed automobiles, or modern
supercars.To view this car and others currently consigned to this
