Among the most compelling expressions of contemporary coachbuilding, the Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Speedster condenses more than 50 years of collaboration between Aston Martin and Zagato into a striking, open-cockpit grand tourer. As the most exclusive member of the four-car Vanquish Zagato family, the Speedster brings the drama of the Villa d’Este show car to life in a marriage of Italian carrozzeria flair and muscular British engineering.

Numbered as the 11th of just 28 examples constructed, this striking Vanquish Zagato Speedster is presented from the care of its original owner, an Aston Martin VIP client. Finished in a bespoke specification of Morning Frost White over Obsidian Black and Spicy Red Z-quilted leather with Winter Wheat embroidery, the car reflects an extraordinary level of personalization. Equipped with nearly $140,000 in factory options, this Speedster features the coveted Villa d’Este package, which includes 20-inch 15-spoke satin black diamond-turned alloy wheels with a bronze tint, bronzed anodized side strakes, and gloss black window trim. Additional highlights include a One-77 steering wheel, carbon fiber paddle shifters, red brake calipers, red-tinted carbon fiber trim, leather-wrapped A-pillars, and distinctive Z-pattern front and rear grilles. The grilles alone represent a $45,000 option, each machined from a single solid block of aluminum.

These details continue throughout the cabin with bronze-finished air vent bezels and graduated “Z” quilting on the seats and door panels underscoring the car’s coachbuilt craftsmanship. The result is a remarkably rare and meticulously specified example that displays just 137 miles at cataloguing.

Given that just 28 Zagato Speedsters were constructed in total, this example marks the opportunity to acquire a true collector’s dream—an automotive jewel destined to command attention and adoration whether competing on the concours green or at speed along the world’s most breathtaking coastal roads.
