Of course I knew it was a recreation,I just liked the colour.
Now for the real deal.......

How can we tell if this is 'the real deal'?

Others will be able to provide more information, but I think there have been some re-bodied (early) DB cars, made to look like Zagatos.

Dear Jon
FYA

The popularity of the original DB4 GT Zagato has resulted in two subsequent waves of cars based on DB4s being rendered into "Zagatos" through the cooperation of Aston Martin and the Zagato works in Italy. They are known as "Sanction II" and "Sanction III" cars. Also, an unauthorised but lucrative private industry of modifying original DB4 GTs into "Zagato" replicas has arisen as well to meet market demand for high-quality Zagato recreations.

Thank you Steven.

Yes indeed, you certainly have a remarkably detailed historical knowledge (internet perhaps), of Aston Martin and Bristol cars.

Although I am a still a very young man, I sometimes wonder why I cannot remember every detail. Anyway, I must be grateful, that I could at least recall something about the 'sanction' DB4 cars.

We are now back to the point which I made. Not easy to know a Zagato, from a 'sanction'.
