A Rare Aston Martin Zagato in the U.S.
A few weeks ago, my wife, myself and a friend of mine hit up a local British car show. We didn’t expect much, figured a few MGs, some Minis, and a bunch of Lotus’. The usual stuff from any British car show.
I was gladly mistaken, not only did we see the only Ariel Atom in the state, which I got a ride in, but we found a unicorn. This unicorn.
Yes, my friends, that is a brand new Aston Martin Zagato. The only one in the States. Seriously, it’s the only one in the United States right now.
It’s breathtakingly beautiful, but more than that, it’s just simply awesome. My friend and I just kept saying to each other, “How? What? How? How is this here? I didn’t know any were even in the States? How?”
Seeing this car is really like seeing a unicorn, it’s something you never expect to see in your life outside of pictures on the internet, but it’s right there in front of you. You could touch it, you won’t because it is someone else’s Zagato, but you could definitely verify it is actually staring you right in the face.
We talked to the owner for a long while, ranging from how long it took to get here, 10 months, to trying to get him to let us do an article on it and possibly get him to take it to the track. We both struck out, but the owner was pretty cool for letting us practically drool all over the car.
I’m still in shock we saw this, hell I’m still in shock it’s actually here. But I’ll just shut up now and let you all bask in the glory that is an Aston Martin Zagato.
UPDATE: Moderator telum01 informs us that it is possibly one of two in the U.S. and the other one is blue and was recently sold at Pebble Beach. -Ed.
