Link doesn't work?

[Brakke]

try again?

Nicest one I've seen.

Obviously commerce sets the price someone is prepared to pay.

However, looking at this another way, which would you rather have ?

ONE V12 Zagato

or

FOUR V12 Vantages

[RobDown]

the steering wheel is on the wrong side, otherwise i'll take 2

Agreed. They usually come out rather vulgar.

Question:

How many V12 Zagato's have been built?
Wikipedia article says 150: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aston_Martin_V12_Zag...
The add says 1 of 65.

So whats the dealio?

There is an interesting letter in this months Vantage magazine. The title sums up the car - Emperor's New Clothes. In summary, front like a bad trip to the dentist, back-side had a good smacking and roof like a tree has fallen on it. The whole package is on steroids with heart failure. On a lighter note the Kahn version is about and seems to use the same parts bin. Not a fan then.

They were overpriced and compared to the V12V didn't have any different features other than the Zagato design clues which in my opinion distorted the beautiful timeless design of the V12V so they intended to build more than they actually sold.

However you break it down, to me these cars look considerably better than a standard vantage v12. This particular one is a bit dull though.

original owners contract and factory publicity was 150

that was publicly reduced to 100

In reality, depending upon who you ask, 60 something to 70 something were produced - they simply weren't able to find customers for all of them and they were only built to order

[Big Ry]

Not for me.......genuinely got no interest at all.

Could have a V12VSR Manual, a Vanquish and a DB11 instead............

Actually planned production was 101, they eventually produced 71 V12 Vantage Zagato's.
Why would you want 4 V12V instead of one Zagato?
Question should be: would you rather have a Zagato or a GT12?
If I could afford it I would buy both, they are rare and their value will inevitably go up.

I'm sorry but planned production was not 101, it was 150 as I posted above. It was then scaled back - as to whether it was scaled back to 100 or 101, I don't recall but it was 100% definitely originally planned at 150, before being scaled back

[CSK1]

Yes indeed AML's first intention was to build 150, then it became officially 101 but only 71 examples were produced which is what matters.
