...agreed a stunning design. .gif ":)") Normally I prefer Aston's in-house designs but this Zagato, even after more than forty years, is exceptional. |

I had the opportunity to assist a photographer shooting a collector's DB4 Zagatto GT this past summer. Only 18 were made. There's probably only 3 in the US, making this car worth $5 million. Fabulous sounding car too. The one we shot was a similar color, but no numbers. |

1 VEV is Zagato lighthweight #DB4GT/0182/R. "This car, along with 2VEV was purchased by John Ogier's Essex Racing Stable and both cars became a huge part of Aston's racing history. In 1961, 1VEV raced at Le Mans but retired with head gasket problems. This was followed by a minor victory at the British GP race for sports cars that was absent of any Ferraris. Its finest moment came at the 1961 Tourist Trophy when Roy Salvadori finished three seconds ahead of Mike Parke's 250 GT. During the race, the car was hard on tyres and 14 new ones had to be fitted. The mechanic at the Essex Stable has been quoted saying that '1VEV never had more than 270 bhp', and that 314 was only possible with the later 3.9-liter engine. In 1990 1VEV sold at auction for £1.54 million with its original engine, gearbox and transaxle. At this point it was upgraded to produce 348 ft lbs of torque. In 2007, the car was comprehensively restored by RS Williams and its rear fenders were reshaped back to the original specs." - http://www.supercars.net/cars/64.html . -- Last edit: 2011-09-20 04:16:53 |

For the sake of good order, Michael J. Parkes (1931-77) not to be confused with notable rally co-driver Michael S. Park (1966-2005). Apart from the Wiki, mikeparkes.eu is family's official website commemorating the remarkable, though tragically short life of the multi-talented engineer and racing driver. |
