Saw this on my travels today and thought you would appreciate it (my eye for vintage cars is even worse than my eye for vintage watches so hopefully this one hits the mark :0)

I couldn't agree more, flawless design, and unbelievably Spada's very first car for Zagato, yet looks it like it's from the hand of an old master..

You may know this, but the DBR1 was driven by some of the all-time greats like Fangio, Moss, Hawthorn etc.. and Shelby and Salvadori won Le Mans in 1959 in a DBR1

Very interesting article, thank you..
That number 2 Aston squeezed up against the hoardings behind Surtees 250 GTO was driven by Jim Clark of all people..
The words Zagato Aston-Martin take me to straight to the first picture. Clark used to look for his photographer friends and gesture them to where he wanted them on a corner then next time round have the car in that attitude.
