Despite being significantly rarer than it's big brother, I can't imagine anyone would view this car as being more valuable, more desirable or in any way subjectively better, than V12 zagato vantage ?
That's very different to say the arguments of GT8 against AMR V12 and/or GT12, where there are subjective pros & cons
Fascinating car though. I wonder what the cost price was........
Here's the listing

I spot steel brakes too, the only ones fitted to that zagato shape I assume. As well as being the only vantage zagato with flappy paddles.

Thank you AMVSVNick for revealing another Limited Edition Vantage,. It was unknown to me.
I will make an addition to the table.
As the table is in chronological order, I will have to work out where to slot it in.
There were a couple of customer commission limited editions, but both were announced by AML at the time.
Perhaps the customers for this model did not want publicity.

Maybe not for the list but a pair of specials at 14.30 onwards

Thank you Rob.
I have now added the Zagato model discovered by Nick, to my table on page 1.
It appears to be officially called V8 Q Zagato, the name shown on the under bonnet plaque.
It is a puzzle to me that one customer should order four identical cars. Another world. Wonder if perhaps three were given away to family members.
I think we now have a total of 22 Limited Editions and 8 Special Editions.

Perhaps 4x was a minimal practical order number for AM to be bothered with? Perhaps the customer considered a finical return in the long term?
