Zagato Aston Martins to go under the hammer
A pair of Zagato Aston Martins are set to be auctioned. The Aston Martin DBZ Centenary Collection is set to headline the Broad Arrow Auctions sale at Monterey Jet Center this August, offering a rare pairing that will captivate UK car enthusiasts.
This Aston Martin DBZ Centenary Collection, featuring both a DB4 GT Zagato Continuation and a DBS GT Zagato, celebrates the 60-year bond between Aston Martin and Zagato and marks a centenary of Italian coachbuilding.
The DB4 GT Zagato Continuation, meticulously hand‑built at Newport Pagnell, reflects its 1963 ancestor. Chassis no. DB4/GT/0239/L, finished in Caribbean Pearl with a connolly blue interior, took 4,500 hours to craft, blending classic Smiths gauges and wood‑rimmed steering wheel with modern carbon‑fibre seats. Its 4.7‑litre engine now delivers 390 hp, up from the original, offering a nostalgic yet exhilarating driving experience.
Paired with this is the 2020 DBS GT Zagato, resplendent in matching Caribbean Blue. This modern super GT features the Italian design house’s trademark ‘double‑bubble’ roof, carbon‑fibre aerodynamics and an enhanced 760 hp twin‑turbo V12. Inside, luxurious Dark Knight leather and 3D‑printed carbon trims offer both style and comfort.
Together, the cars sold out at around £6.1 million in 2019, underscoring their exclusivity. With a current estimate of $3.5 – 4.5 million, the collection provides UK collectors a rare chance to bid on true motoring masterpieces. The auction forms part of Monterey Car Week from 13–14 August and follows Broad Arrow’s marquee 2024 sale, where 170 cars totalled $71.5 million.
