65 cars were built, I don't know what it's worth now but that is the lowest build rate on a production car I have seen in many years.

These will appreciate if and when they come up for sale
Pure because it is a Zagota Aston Martin
I'm not a fan zagotas but they do well when they come up for sale

It is one of 99 cars, not 65. He is an ambassador for Zagato in the Middle East.

As I understand it, they were going to build no more than 99, but they actually built only 65.

Aston announced 150 when they launched it, reducing this to 101 in July 2012 due to poor sales.
Rumours abound they never sold them all and there are no "firm" published figures on how many did get made before it was killed off with the change to the newer V12 engine

It's only $6800/month for 84 months after a $130,000 down payment. Better act quickly if you want it -- it won't last long at this price!

Looks great but it doesn't have the signature interior of the car. Odd that they would opt for a different look.

I was joking. Maybe it will go up in value but to me it's an over-priced V12V with an ugly body kit.

I wasn't replying to you directly. I knew you were joking . I'm not a fan of the Zagato myself. It will go up in value due to its rarity but as you said, it's just a V12V with a body kit.

It has the Zagato stitch for the headliner. The seat stitching is too busy IMO. Don't know why there is no photo of that.

Just as a DB4GT Zagato is a DB4GT with a body kit. It's a production car built in very small numbers, smaller even than One-77. I think it has a bright future. Will there ever be another stick shift 12 cylinder? Not likely, and with only 65 for the world it's an instant classic.

To me there is no comparison. The DB4GT Zagato was/is a work of art, was a modified (lightened) version of the original car, and was a racing car to boot. The V12V Zagato, none of the above. Also, as noted above, they only made 65 of them because they couldn't find 100 buyers. This is no sure bet as an investment.

They did race this Zagato at the Ring 24hr but it's not anything like the DB4GT

Ah, did not know that. I agree though, not the same thing at all. This car is a road car.
