A serious lack of discretion on Aston's partFeatured this week at Coys of Kensington - London's renowned and venerable automotive auction house - is the 1987 Aston Martin V8 Zagato Vantage.
I must say that this is one for the Aston Martin faithful. I am indeed surprised that this GT is not listed with the Rolls-Royce Camargue in Richard Porter's Crap Cars; see Amazon's link below ARCHIVES.
Astonishingly, Aston Martin aficionados paid as much as £450,000 (near 1980s] $1,000,000) to drive one of these relics of poor 80s style home.
While certainly fleet now and among the quickest then, the 0-60mph of less than six seconds does not best performance numbers of its 1980s competition from Lotus or Porsche.
Considering the price and the style, which reminds me of some 1980s Japanese sports thing (Mazda, Nissan, Toyota) again I have to express shock that anyone bought the car.
And are those hub caps?
Coys, comme d'habitude, has not listed the car's price. It ought to be a buy one Bentley, get one V8 Zagato Vantage for free.
