Zagato Vanquish Volante

[difontaine42]

Found this on the GG spotted thread. Made me think that's it's been a bit passed over on here as a limited edition Aston. Especialy considering how big the GT8 thread is.

Are people not interested or is it just seen as unobtainable?

I tried to order one, even had the operation lined up to sell the kidney. But I think my dealer "forgot" to register my interest (don't get me started down that route).

They should be epic, albeit (just a personal opinion) I think the coupe will look better thanks to the double-bubble roof

I can't work out on that picture why it appears to have a tail flap. The coupe doesn't does it?

[difontaine42]

Looking at the hard top it does look like it has a retractable spoiler. Not quite the flap the volante has though.

Suspect it will stay down when it's sat in storage appreciating in value though!

Vanquish Zagato without a roof is just a Vanquish.

Well, apart from being a completely different shape.

Without the double-bubble roof.

The bubble is certainly a distinctive element. I wonder how the lack of same on the DB AR1 has affected prices WRT it's coupe brethren? Does the old adage that the 'price goes up when the roof goes down' hold true for Zagatos because of the lack of a bubble roof? I would think so.

It's a bit like buying an Aston Martin with a Mercedes engine.

I wanted a coupe Zagato but no luck. Got a call from HR Owen where I got my last 2 Vanquishes, offering a Zagato Volante about 3 weeks ago. Might be worth trying them!

Fantastic looking car, seems very expensive but I am always surprised where prices end up.

Thanks, I'd heard before of a slot coming up. Interesting that they're getting cancellations.

But my arm & leg are now being sold to pay for an AMR already 😳

[Fred-arn7x]

It is not unusual to get a cancellation for cars in this price band. Having looked at the Aston launch photos it is a beautiful car which is very different from the standard Vanquish Volante. I would love to own such a rare car which unfortunately will probably only come on the used market very occasionally and somewhat over list price.
