1962 Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato
Auctioned by RM Sotheby’s in California for US$9.5 million
One of just 19 DB4GT Zagatos to be built, it’s no surprise that this car emerged as the top seller of RM Sotheby’s flagship Monterey auction, given its status as one of the most collectible Aston Martins in existence. Hailing from the collection of the late Texas businessman Paul Andrews, chassis number DB4GT/0190/L is also one of six left-hand-drive examples and comes equipped with the original engine. Although Zagato-style seats were previously mounted in the car by another owner, Andrews was fastidious enough to change the car’s interior back to the original DB4GT-style seats, all upholstered in correct leather sourced from England at considerable cost.
