Aston Martin V8 Zagato, 1985
Chassis No.: 20011 Estimate: £300,000 - £340,000 GBP The pre-production special and first production 1985 Aston Martin V8 Zagato Registration no. E625 KYH Chassis no. 20011 • Built on the last of the four prototype chassis to an exceptional specification. • One of only four with the uprated 432bhp X Pack engine from new • Present owner since 1999, magnificent provenance • Professionally restored to concours standard between 2011 and 2013 • Concorso Eleganza Villa d'Este invitee in 2016 "On the road, the Zagato eats up the long straights. Once moving its progress is magnificently effortless. Like most very fast cars, it's as if it isn't constrained by the physical laws of gravity and air resistance. Unlike most very fast cars, however, it fools its driver into thinking that its blistering, growling pace is normal, comfortable, undramatic." - Motor. The historic Aston Martin we offer, chassis number '20011', is one of the special group of four early Zagatos. Chassis numbers 20010 to 20013, all four cars finished in the striking Gladiator Red livery. '20011' was the last of the four chassis built and sent to Zagato Milano, and originally designated 20013 as confirmed by internal factory memos in the car's history file. To ensure the car's identity as the first production car for its important customer, the Chairman of Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd, Victor Gauntlett, had the chassis number changed to 20011 and held back for its exclusive build. With the introduction of the V8 Vantage-based Zagato in 1986, Aston Martin renewed its association with one of Italy's most illustrious carrozzeria, which had been responsible for that most celebrated and desirable of all post-war Aston Martins: the DB4GT Zagato. Neighbouring stands at the 1984 Geneva Salon facilitated the initial contact between Aston bosses Victor Gauntlett and Peter Livanos, and the Zagato brothers, Elio and Gianni, and by the following year the project had progressed sufficiently for Aston to accept deposits on the 50 production cars planned. By August 1985, all had been sold. Prospective customers were promised that this exclusive new Aston Martin would be capable of 300km/h (186mph) with a 0-60mph time of under five seconds. In June 1986 the original prototype, '20010', successfully met its design target by achieving a maximum speed of 185.63mph while on test with the French magazine Sport Auto, eclipsing the previous record held by Ferrari's 288 GTO. Maintaining stability at these speeds had necessitated the fitting of an extended front air dam and a tail spoiler. Part of Zagato's brief had been to shed some of the standard Vantage's weight, and this was achieved by shortening the car by some 10" and deleting the rear seats, thus creating the first production two-seater since the DB4GT. The weight saving was a considerable 168kg (370lb) – the equivalent of two heavy set 6ft men. As installed in the first four chassis – '20010'-'20013' – the 5.3-litre four-cam V8 was tuned to an enhanced Vantage specification, producing a mind-bending 432bhp at 6,200rpm, while production cars received the standard 580X Vantage engine producing 410bhp. The manner of its installation though, created a certain amount of controversy: the Zagato's low sloping bonnet, penned by stylist Giuseppe Mittino in the expectation of a fuel-injected engine, being interrupted by the now iconic bulge necessary to clear the Vantage's quartet of Webers. Predictably, given the success of the coupe, a Zagato Volante was not long in coming, the very first example being a converted saloon (chassis number '20042'), which debuted at the Geneva Salon in 1987. All but a handful of the Volantes were fitted with the less powerful fuel-injected V585 engine and thus lacked the bonnet bulge. In all, including the pre-production examples such as this car '20011', a total of 89 V8 Zagatos were built by the time production ceased in 1990: 51 Coupes and 38 Volantes. The first owner of this particularly rare and desirable car was Wensley Haydon-Baillie, a discerning Aston Martin marque enthusiast. In common with all Haydon-Baillie commissioned cars, chassis '20011' was delivered to an extraordinarily high, bespoke specification, which explains why it was not registered until 1988. By September 1992, the mileage is recorded as 4,100, and the odometer reading is now less than 24,500. As previously mentioned, it is one of only four V8 Zagatos known to have been powered from new by the Vantage engine in up-rated 432bhp tune, and one of only two fitted with an integral roll-over bar. It also features black leather upholstery, leather-covered fascia/dashboard panel, and a leather-covered steering wheel, all as per the original build sheet. A copy of the latter accompanies the car together with its history, which includes the aforementioned factory memos concerning '20011' and the other early pre-production cars. Also included in the sale are original service voucher booklet; delivery and warranty documents; instruction manuals and handbook; other history and provenance to include restoration invoices; and a tool roll. Kingsley Riding-Felce, who at the time of the V8 Zagato's introduction was Aston Martin's UK Sales Manager, comments today: "Competition in the high-performance sector was fierce, especially with Ferrari and Porsche. The V8 Vantage was a tremendous platform upon which to create something very special and our friends at Zagato were an obvious choice with whom to partner again. It was not merely a change of clothes: the car was lighter, more powerful and with much improved handling. The result was one of the most coveted and significant motor cars to emerge from our factory at Newport Pagnell." Between 2011 and 2013, this significant Zagato was treated to a painstaking restoration by Christchurch, New Zealand-based – and Pebble Beach-winning specialists – Auto Restorations, which was overseen by the current owner, who acquired the car in 1999. It is hardly surprising that today this car is listed by the Aston Martin Heritage Trust as being a particularly significant example of its type. As such it was one of the 52 cars invited to the highly prestigious annual Concorso Eleganza Villa d'Este at Lake Como in 2016, featuring at the time in a number of photo shoots with the newly released Vanquish Zagato. '20011' was also an accepted entry to the 2017 Modena Cento Ore, but the current owner was unable to attend. It remains eligible for that increasingly popular and oversubscribed event, among others. This Zagato was also invited to the inaugural City of London Concours in 2017. The mid-1980s was an extraordinary period in motor manufacturing and development, echoing the hedonistic socio-economic climate of the time. Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche and Aston Martin were competing furiously to create the most powerful and outrageous high-performance car. Aston Martin's V8 Zagato was an instant and highly coveted collectors' motor car when new – trading far in excess of its original list price – and today it is regarded as one of the most significant road-going Aston Martins ever produced. The V8 Zagato is right up there in collecting terms, but to own one of the pre-production specials – and what became the first production car – takes it to a whole new level.

Aston Martin V8 Zagato Volante Convertible, 1989
Chassis No.: SCFCV81Z1JTL30029 Engine No.: V/585/0029 Estimate: €320,000 - €380,000 EUR • One of only 37 Zagato-bodied V8 Volantes built • One of a mere 12 left-hand drive examples • Desirable manual transmission • Circa 2,540 kilometres recorded • Previous long-term Belgium private ownership "On the road, the Zagato eats up the long straights. Once moving its progress is magnificently effortless. Like most very fast cars, it's as if it isn't constrained by the physical laws of gravity and air resistance. Unlike most very fast cars, however, it fools its driver into thinking that its blistering, growling pace is normal, comfortable, undramatic." - Motor. With the introduction of the V8 Vantage-based Zagato in 1986, Aston Martin renewed its association with one of Italy's most illustrious carrozzeria, Zagato having been responsible for that most celebrated and desirable of all post-war Aston Martins, the DB4GT. Neighbouring stands at the 1984 Geneva Salon facilitated the initial contact between Aston boss Victor Gauntlett and the Zagato brothers, and by following year the project had progressed sufficiently for Aston to accept deposits on the 50 production cars planned. The first prototype was shown to the public at Geneva in March 1986, and in June successfully met its design target by achieving a maximum speed of 186mph while on test with the French magazine Sport Auto. Part of Zagato's brief had been to shed some of the standard Vantage's not inconsiderable weight, and this was achieved by the simple expedient of shortening the wheelbase by a little over 17 centimetres and deleting the rear seats, thus creating the first production two-seater since the DB4GT. The 5.3-litre four-cam V8 was, naturally, to Vantage specification, producing a mind-bending 432bhp at 6,200rpm. The manner of its installation though, created a certain amount of controversy, the Zagato's low sloping bonnet, penned in the expectation of a fuel-injected engine, being marred by an unsightly bulge necessary to clear the Vantage's quartet of Webers. Predictably, given the success of the saloon, a Zagato Volante convertible was not long in coming. The very first example was made by converting a saloon - chassis number '20042' - which was first displayed publicly at the Geneva Salon in 1987. Intended only for the fuel-injected 320bhp engine, the production Volante avoided its sibling's bonnet bulge unless, of course, a customer specified an engine in Vantage tune. The Volante was intended to be even more exclusive than its closed cousin - 25 were planned initially, as opposed to 50 saloons. In the event, a total of 37 had been built by the time production ceased in 1990, making this one of the rarest and most desirable of open supercars as well as an exceptionally collectible Aston Martin. According to the accompanying car record card from Aston Martin, this beautifully presented V8 Zagato Convertible was originally finished in the most attractive colour combination of Vulcan Black with black leather interior, black carpets, black hood, and grey Alcantara headlining, the same as it is today. This is an ultra-rare variant of an already rare car: of the 37 Zagato Volantes built, only 12 were left-hand drive of which only eight were fitted with the desirable five-speed manual gearbox like this example. Currently showing a mere 2,540 or so kilometres on the odometer, this beautifully finished car would be a welcome addition to any serious collection, Aston Martin or otherwise. It is believed to have spent some 20 years in the collection of a well-known Aston Martin connoisseur in Belgium, and there is an email on file from Aston Martin Antwerp confirming that they have known the car for some 20 years and looked after it on behalf of the previous owner, who is said to have used it only sporadically. An invoice on file from 1993 for the sale of the car, issued by the Aston Martin main agent for Belgium, suggests that it had spent a long time in Belgium. Subsequently, in 2016, the Aston was sold by a well-respected Dutch Aston Martin specialist to the current owner in Germany. The car will be offered with German registration documents as well as with the following documentation: the aforementioned car record card from Aston Martin; Aston Martin Certificate of Origin; sundry invoices; the aforementioned email from Aston Martin Antwerp; Belgian Keuringsbewijs (valid until 2016); Belgian vehicle registration application form; and various other paperwork This is a true collector's car that ticks all the boxes: rarity, design, colour combination, limited usage, and provenance. An opportunity not to be missed. https://cars.bonhams.com/auction/25565/lot/42/1989-aston-martin-v8-zagato-volante-convertible-chassis-no-scfcv81z1jtl30029-engine-no-v5850029/
