PREVIOUS ZAGATO MODELS
Ugo Zagato founded the company in 1919 putting aircraft industry construction techniques to use in the expanding market for passenger motor cars. Zagato's cars were advanced in design and immediately became synonymous with light weight and excellent aerodynamics. Alfa Romeo, Fiat & Lancia immediately realised the advantages of Zagato's rakish, streamlined designs.
Zagato-bodied cars took class wins in every edition of the Mille Miglia, and the Milanese constructor's name was associated with some of the most famous drivers in motor sports history, including Ferrari, Nuvolari, Ascari, Fangio, Moss, Scarfiotti, Bandini, De Adamich.
After the Second World War, a new racing category took off - the GT class. A pioneering privateer racing scene quickly established itself, and Zagato was the marque that became its representative, with cars that were great on the road and, come Sunday, were unbeatable on the track.
Avant-garde styling, together with light weight and wind-cheating lines were a trademark that distinguished Zagato's models for the leading sports car manufacturers of that era - Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Lancia, Abarth, Ferrari and Aston Martin.
In addition to the cars that were produced officially in small series, the company also built exclusive one-offs and prototypes for other illustrious marques, such as Jaguar, MG, Bristol and Rolls Royce.
As a result of the limited production runs of previous models, a pre-owned Zagato is a rare opportunity to acquire a very unique automotive creation. The 2002 Aston Martin DB7 Zagato, 2006 Ferrari 575 GTZ and 2007 Spyker C12 Zagato are three recent models to emerge from Zagato’s design studio and which have become instant classics.

We invite you to experience Zagato at our dedicated showroom in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire where we are able to offer a number of exceptional test drive routes befitting of these exquisite motor cars.
