Name this car....


Recommended Posts

The next puzzle car - year, make & model, please.

If anyone wants to take a crack at this, please take your time, since we're having a family weekend and will probably avoid the computer completely until next Monday.

Actually '50 or '51.  '52 had a 1-piece windscreen

Could be - but most of the 52's that come up in google searches still have the split windscreen:

...and there seem to be replacement windshields that come in two pieces.

Again, hot-rodders may have "updated" customized street-rods to an aftermarket one-piece windshield, for the sleaker look.

Aston Martin DB4 Zagato, but no idea re: year.

Good idea to have a break from the computers :)

Don't think so Graham. Our DB4GTZ has no rear spoiler.

Wilson, is that 4GTZ still in your families stable or already sold? Was a ´61 model and not one of the Sanction II/III cars, right? Was yours made for racing or as a fast and light GT in the old days? They were all differently equipped, custom made.

Ronald,

We still have the DB4 GTZ but I think it may be due to be sold shortly, as we mostly use the short chassis DB6 Mk1 convertible, with a 4.7L big block 12 plug Crossthwaite and Gardner engine. The Zagato is chassis number 3 of the original production and started build in 1959 unusually as a LHD car. It was the personal car of Dr. Zagato. It was then sold to Richard Williams, the renowned Aston Martin restorer. It was converted to full Le Mans car spec with a 52 gallon fuel tank, uprated suspension etc and raced in historic events for many years. Then it got used for the development mule for the Sanction II cars, with bigger brakes, a 4.2L engine (352 BHP), a 5 speed dog leg ZF gearbox (we still have the 4 speed David Brown box) and improved suspension geometry. That is its current spec. We bought it from Richard some 15+ years ago.
