These two vehicles for sale at Galpin Aston Martin are the result of a stunning collaboration between Zagato and Aston Martin.

Indeed, it was not until 1986, when Zagatos Giuseppe Mittino made a success story out of his interpretation of the concurrent Aston Martin V8, creating the V8 Zagato and V8 Zagato Spyder, that the relationship was resuscitated. Since then the relationship has gone from strength to strength, spawning the 2002 DB7 Vantage Zagato, the 2003 DB AR1, 2011 V12 Zagato and numerous other concepts and design studies along the way.
