* *

Hexagon Classics are delighted to offer this modern classic. Few Aston Martins possess the exclusivity, design pedigree and collector appeal of the Aston Martin AR1 Zagato. Conceived as a celebration of the long-standing relationship between Aston Martin and the legendary Milanese design house Zagato, the AR1 (American Roadster 1) represents one of the rarest and most desirable limited-production Astons of the modern era.

Built exclusively for the North American market and based upon the acclaimed DB7 Vantage Volante platform, just 99 examples of the AR1 were produced. Designed by Zagato and hand-finished with meticulous attention to detail, the AR1 combines unmistakable Italian styling cues with Aston Martin's muscular V12 performance and grand touring refinement.

Our exceptional left-hand-drive example is presented in elegant Birch Silver Metallic, a colour that perfectly accentuates the AR1's distinctive lines, dramatic front grille and signature double-bubble design language. The exterior is beautifully complemented by a Black leather interior, creating a timeless and sophisticated specification befitting this highly exclusive model.

Power is provided by Aston Martin's magnificent naturally aspirated 5.9-litre V12 engine, producing effortless performance accompanied by one of the most evocative exhaust notes of any modern grand tourer. With its combination of immense torque, long-legged cruising ability and open-top motoring experience, the AR1 remains a uniquely engaging driver's car.

The AR1 occupies a special place within Aston Martin's history. Unlike many limited-edition derivatives, it was not simply a cosmetic exercise but a genuine collaboration between two iconic marques, resulting in a model that stands apart from both the standard DB7 and the earlier DB7 Zagato Coupé. Its rarity, coachbuilt heritage and striking design have ensured enduring interest from collectors worldwide.

Registered as AMZ 4007, this beautifully presented example offers an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire one of the most collectible Aston Martins of the Gaydon era. Combining rarity, exclusivity and the celebrated Zagato name, the AR1 is a significant modern classic and a worthy addition to any serious modern classic collection.

Available to view now at our London showroom along with both baseball caps, umbrellas, Aston Martin gloves and the numbered car cover Included.
