What is that all about? A fly screen on a faired bike?

Gordon's alive....?


It's a Zagato....art-deco design house BS done simply to test/gauge/get public reaction. They've done some surprisingly awful Aston Martins in the past. Or they do custom orders.

One or two elements of the design will typically find it's way onto an upcoming MV, but it won't be anything drastic.

It looks like a 1200 VFR - fun but not for me!

Actually I really like it, I love that suspended seat unit and the headlight under the bodywork, it's very different, but fwiw it also looks as if it needs hub centre steering, very Bimota-esque I think.

That Aston Zagato is a thing of utter beauty imho. (inlove)

I like it, apart from the nose. If that was a little more joined up and less futuristic prototype it would look cracking.

What's that??? Looks like a Pininfarina design.....the rear quarterlights are always a dead giveaway.

Did you learn that when you were a car designer?

No. Just when I was 'into' cars, and kept seeing the same design elements pop up on different brands.

Cars are just 'moving furniture', 'moving architecture', etc.

Nope.

The ex. in her infinite wisdom, decided to sell it for almost nothing.

Bit of a sore subject, but to tell the truth I barely drove it anyway, and I know that she needed the cash.

Me altering the papers to put it solely into my name prolly didn't help her mood, TBH.....divorce is a bugger to go through (and still is).

My fault. My loss. Simple as that.
