Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato Recreation

This is an Aston Workshop re-creation of the DB4 GT Zagato, one of the most sought-after Astons of the early 1960s. Only 19 originals left Italy, and the Workshop's version borrows what it considers the best features from several of them rather than copying a single car.

It starts from a DB4 donor, with the chassis shortened by 5 inches to Zagato dimensions and the alloy body handbuilt. The car is described as being in the latter stages of build, ready for paint with its components waiting for assembly. That leaves the buyer to choose colour, trim and gearbox, with options from the original David Brown four-speed to a five-speed ZF.

The engine is rebuilt in-house to 4.2-litre Vantage specification with Cosworth pistons and a 12-plug head modified for unleaded fuel. The finished car is to be road legal in left- or right-hand drive, with DVLA registration and an original DB4 chassis number. A 12-month warranty is included.
