In 2013, Aston Martin unveiled a pair of stunning Zagato-built one-offs as part of its 100th anniversary celebration. Both ditched the design of the production cars they were based on in favor of a "more Mediterranean" appearance that made them unique among other Aston Martins. These special editions were the DBS Coupe Zagato and the DB9 Spyder Zagato. The DB9-based convertible will be looking for a new owner at RM Sotheby’s car auction at the 2015 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance on August 14th.
Built for U.S. Aston Martin collector Peter Read, the DB9 Spyder Zagato Centennial is based on the DB9 Volante, but features reworked body panels with squared-off edges, wider rear fenders and a more aggressive rendition of the brand’s trademark front grille. Unlike other Aston Martins, the Zagato’s headlamps were incorporated into the mesh, while the taillights had a teardrop shape.
The auction house estimated the unique convertible will fetch between $380,000 and $450,000.
RM Sotheby’s car sale at Pebble Beach will also see an array of classic sports cars go under the hammer. Highlights will include a 1968 Maserati Ghibli 4.7 Spyder Prototype ($1,200,000 - $1,800,000), a 1970 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Berlinetta ($900,000 - $1,200,000), and a 1976 Lamborghini Countach LP 400 ’Periscopio’ ($1,500,000 - $2,000,000).
