Buyer’s notes

About the Aston Martin V8 Zagato

Shown at the 1986 Geneva Motor Show, the V8 Zagato was a shorter, lighter, Zagato-bodied version of the V8 Vantage, with about 430 bhp and a claimed 186 mph. Orders were taken from a drawing before the car was seen, and 89 were built by 1990: 52 coupés and 37 Volantes.

What moves the price

  • Body: coupé or Volante, and whether the original specification survives.
  • Provenance: ownership history and the records that support it.
  • Mechanical condition: engine and gearbox work on record from a marque specialist.

Before you buy, check

  • Identity and specification against the factory build records.
  • The steel structure under the aluminium body, sills and floor especially, where repairs are costly.
  • Signs of overheating, oil leaks and low oil pressure, and a gearbox that changes cleanly.
