Rare & Classic Aston Martins: Must-See Collection!
Aston Martin is displaying a compilation of exceptionally rare sports vehicles available to purchase. An assembly of these prestigious exotics is present at Aston Martin Works, the venerated home of the iconic car brand prior to its move to Gaydon in 2007.
Among the collection’s most remarkable features are two examples of the esteemed One-77, deemed the apex of Aston Martin’s “Gaydon era.” There have only been 77 distinct models of this car ever built, with a price tag well into the seven-figure range. The One-77 is powered by a 7.3-liter V12 engine, able to reach a maximum speed of 220 mph. It is an extraordinary event to have one of these cars on view, let alone two.

An impressive addition to the collection is the much-heralded V12 Zagato, which arrived in 2011 as a modern homage to older Zagato Aston Martins. This car united the best of both design aesthetics and was initially meant to be released in a batch of 150 units, though only 61 were actually made. The vehicle quickly captured attention of automotive fans all over by trophying the Concorso d’Eleganza Award at Villa d’Este in 2011, as well as participating in the famous Nurburgring 24-hour event.
Finally, we can witness the appearance of the Vantage GT8, explicitly inspired by the 2016 Aston Martin V8 Vantage GTE race car. Cloaked in fibreglass bodywork, this premier model harnesses a reworked 440-hp version of the renowned 4.7-liter V8 engine. Alternatively, the rarely seen Vantage GT12 is one of the most iconic, exclusive special editions that Aston Martin has ever released. Produced in a mere 100 units, it integrates comprehensive carbon fiber components and a powerful 6.0-liter V12 powertrain.
