V8 Vantage Zagato Coupe

--Gris Fume (Smoke Grey) Metallic with Brown leather interior and Brown carpets, 1,000 ORIGINAL KILOMETERS/600 MILES FROM NEW, 5-Speed manual ZF gearbox, 1 only 21 Left-Hand-Drive Examples of Just 50 Production V8 Vantage Zagato Coupes Manufactured.

The V8 Vantage Zagato was originally introduced at the 1986 Geneva Motor Show. This V8 Vantage Zagato Coupe is 1 of only 50 production examples produced for the world market. The most powerful of the production Vantage's, it is powered by X-Pack specification 5.3 liter engine using high compression pistons, larger valves than the standard V8, larger inlet manifold and X-Pack “Zagato specification” camshafts breathing through 48mm Weber carburetors. It produces 423 bhp @ 6200 rpm and 395 ft lbs of torque at 5100 rpm. It will sprint from 0-60 in just 4.5 seconds and reach just short of 200 mph.

This V8 Vantage Zagato Coupe was first delivered to Japanese collector, Mr. Shogo Watanabe. Mr. Watanabe has this as well as two others in his collection. This Vantage Zagato Coupe was kept in his collection through April 2, 2005. At this time, it had accumulated 880 km's, still in its original condition, numbers matching and original color combination, it was sold to its next and most recent ownership, a well-known and respected Kuwatii Aston Martin collector. It has since been housed in the Swiss portion of his collection.

The V8 Vantage Zagato Coupe was sent immediately to Aston Martin Works Service, Newport Pagnell, UK. Although extremely low original miles from new, AM Works Service was instructed to renew the Vantage Zagato. Work included an engine rebuild to 'unleaded' specification; uprating the cooling system for 'tropical' climates; conversion to Ronal style road wheels; replacing the entire exhaust system; installing an Alpine radio, touchscreen DVD navigation and six CD autochanger as well as complete overhauls of the braking, suspension and steering systems. All detailed records from AM Works Service are included within the history file.

Recently purchased by Autosport Designs, Inc., the Zagato has been imported to the United States. It will receive a major servicing throughout to refresh to make ready for immediate use or show.

Complete with all books and tools and all records, this is an opportunity to own what is essentially a brand new V8 Vantage Zagato Coupe, 1 of only 21 Left-Hand-Drive examples produced, arguably one of the most important, limited manufactured Aston Martin's from the Newport Pagnell, V8 Aston era.
