The greatest British GT of all time? The most beautiful Zagato body ever designed? The Holy Grail of roadgoing Aston Martins? The DB4GT Zagato is all of those things, and just 19 were ever built.

Chassis ‘0189’ was, according to the definitive Palawan chassis-by-chassis book on the model, the last DB4GT Zagato built. A car with an enigmatic early history, it is one of eleven right-hand drive Zagatos and one of three to receive English paint. Its striking original colour scheme is unique: Caribbean Pearl with Connolly red hide and carpets. Delivered new to the UK in April 1963, chassis ‘0189’ was exported in 1970 to South Africa, passing to Scotland in 1976 and from there back to England before a spell in Germany. In 1995 the Zagato was entrusted to Aston Martin Works Service for a complete restoration. The car was totally stripped down to the bare chassis, and the Zagato was returned to its original state with the original colour scheme of pale blue with red leather inside.
