Nineteen were bodied by Zagato to shed weight for the racetrack: cut roofline, faired-in lamps, hand-formed alloy skin over Tadek Marek's twin-plug six. Chassis 0183 wore the registration 2 VEV and became one of the most famous Astons in racing, a car with a name of its own.

Parts and support

Parts availability is almost irrelevant to a ~19-car, multi-million-pound rarity; everything is bespoke and cost is no object.
