Tom Talks: A very special Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In today's Tom Talks episode we take a closer look at a very special car, a unique Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato.
A DB4GT Zagato is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful cars of all-time. Only 19 examples were ever produced but this particular car is totally unique amongst its peers and is a car we've had in restoration for over 2 years and a car we haven't yet shared with anyone until now.
We are planning on launching the car for sale soon, however, we wanted you to be the first to see it and hear about its wonderful history.
Enjoy!

I would listen to Tom describe the provenance of a pack of gum. You are a brilliant storyteller, Sir.
Absolute work of art, so much more than just a car. I hope it finds a home where it is allowed to breathe and not just hidden away.
Kudos to you Tom and everyone at Tom Hartley Jnr Ltd. This Aston Martin DB4 Zagato is simply stunning and probably one of the greatest cars made brought back to perfection by you and your wider team. Thank you for sharing this with the world. We all look forward to more content from you. Keep up the magnificent work. All the best.

We agree!
A truly beautiful car. You must feel like a kid in a sweet shop everyday!
Probably the most beautiful car i have ever seen...simply stunning in every which way.
I could listen to Tom for hours, great car
For lovers of GT cars of that period (like me), it doesn't get any better than this one. It's absolutely stunning. I like to think that its next owner will drive it in the manner it was intended. Good video - thanks for sharing this beauty!
What a truly stunning automobile, beautiful in every way. I actually prefer the headlights as fitted to this car. I imagine it's going to realise a huge amount of money, worth every penny I'd say. I remember being at the Silverstone classic event many years back and there were two DB4GT Zagato in attendance, a joy to see and to photograph!
Without doubt a spectacular restoration. I smiled when you used the word ‘patina’ with regard the glass, when you have removed it everywhere else.
Excellent presentation of of a true unicorn and a credit to you and your restoration partners !
I did not know this car existed. I knew all the 19 cars were slightly different because they were truly hand made. This is clearly the most unique of the 19 original cars. No price mentioned, but I am guessing between £9 and £10 million? More videos like this please 🤩
Absolutely adore this machine. Top 3 cars ever. Along with an S1 Continental DHC, and 250 Cal Spyder. This’ll be the best 12 minutes of my day.

Absolutely flawless well done on such a fabulous restoration, and congratulations to the lady/gentleman who becomes the new custodian of this vehicle

Very beautiful car!
Stunning car. I understand why you took it back to the original colour, but it did look stunning in the dark blue it used to be.
That is an utter stunner! Wow!! Always love the absolute enthusiasm you explain the story Tom. As an owner of many modern era V12 Newport and Gaydon V12 Astons I appreciate your devotion to authenticity of a truly unique car.. well done 👍🏻

Glorious.
Beautiful! But for me, the original DB4 design is without doubt the prettiest Aston ever built!
Spot on 👍
Stunning looker
Beautiful car and a great colour could just join my all time favourites, love your videos always an education and it’s like visiting an art gallery. I remember at school my first model car was a Corgi DB4 in primrose yellow loved it .

What a stunning car
Restoration of the year! Bravo. I saw this one at Bodylines, masters of the english wheel. The original panels were power hammer shrunk, a lost art I presume.
Superb restoration also! Will we see you take it out on the road Tom? That would be something
Beautiful
My favourite car. I first saw one in the car park field at Goodwood🎉. I couldn’t believe it was firstly in a field with thousands of other cars and secondly that it had been driven to the meet. Such a valuable and rare car but the custodian (his words not mine) was prepared to drive it from his home to the racetrack.
Very pleasant line and length indeed.
beautiful car
Beautiful showroom ….. every car a gem …..
One of the boxes to tick-off in my life bucket list of life, is to purchase a car from Tom Hartley, someday 🤞🏼😊🤞🏼
That’s a good lookin’ car!!!
Amazing car
Art.
More videos please Tom !!!!🇦🇺
A wonderful Car ! 🤗👋👋👋
Tom Jnr, is the only Hartley I’d deal with.
nice video, I just wonder why the headlights are so different from other DB4GT Zagato(s)?
I've seen a db4 bertone jet, well that's what I think it was, it was in Limerick Ireland, it was beside a bmw 507, a beautiful pair indeed.
I remember reading that the very first series I DB4’s had overheating issues in Italy because they had only been tested in UK weather. Maybe they had that in mind with the hood lid.
Stunning and i bet the price tag is too
Looks very related to the Maserati A6G. I think the proportions of the Maserati works better (sorry😅), as this is a bit top heavy in its proportions. The rear is absolutely very similar to the 250 SWB. And I bet the car looks outstanding in person, but for me the Maserati is a league above in the design department - but this is totally subjective and no particular wrong or right ❤
This car used to be blue, it's my favorite DB4 GTZ just because it's different with its open headlights.
Wonderful car with a very careful restoration, though aesthetically I much prefer the Touring DB4 GT.
2:58 DB4GT/0190/L is the other DB4 GT Zagato with the chrome plated brass window frame surrounds rather than aluminium.
Beautiful machine. I note it does not have a 7000 rpm tacho like most GTs - is that original?
That’ll do it!
Stunning car. Why don't we start making more retro style cars? They are so much more elegant than modern designs.
What an absolute stunning vehicle
Exquisite. Nothing more to say….
The Tip on the Top
I’m not usually lost for words.. 😮

There's always a first time 😉
Wow ❤
Very nice but you say you want to keep the patina but besides the small scratches on the glass that you couldn't get rid off, what else is there as it looks all new and it is now just a restored car.
A truly beautiful Aston/Zagato. It's an elegant car, but the grille is a little too small. The front of the Ferrari 250 GT swb does it so much better in terms of proportion, it pains me to say so as I prefer Aston Martins.
🎉
Is it Chassis #0188L?
By special do you mean not half as beautiful as the rest with the covered lights ? It does look nice, and the restoration quality is truly amazing But I'd want the proper look myself
Honestly, didn't know one with exposed headlights even existed
It definitely looks like a British 250 SWB with the open headlights but weirder proportions. Not a fan at all compared to the "normal" DB4 GT Zagato

I agree. The 'special' features don't add to the look in my humble opinion.
I can’t actually gell with its looks, especially the nose, the factory db4gt behind it is far prettier to me. Amazing car nonetheless the less.
Tom I know where there’s a Lamborghini countach sitting in a shipping container in Ireland, it’s right hand drive
It's really gorgeous, never seen that traditional front-end spec on a DB4GT Zagato .. it lacks any patina which I find odd on a car of this age, but I have to say I still prefer the beautifully aerodynamic front end of the standard (🤣) spec DB4GT Zagato.
25 milli?
What we talking 6- 8 million ?? As the others are around 4-5 mil
Guesses on the price? £14 million is my wild bet
Interior perhaps too well restored ?
True car porn and I love every minute of it.
I thought it was a Ferrari 250 GT SWB.
I’m guessing 25 million dlls
