BROAD ARROW TO AUCTION DESIRABLE ASTON MARTIN ZAGATO DBZ CENTENARY COLLECTION IN MONTEREY
AUGUST 13-14 AUCTION TO FEATURE EXTREMELY RARE ASTON MARTIN DB4 GT ZAGATO CONTINUATION AND DBS GT ZAGATO | JUST 19 PAIRINGS WERE BUILT AND SOLD TOGETHER IN 2019 | THE CARS CELEBRATE OVER SIXTY YEARS OF COLLABORATION BETWEEN ASTON MARTIN AND ZAGATO The extremely rare Aston Martin DBZ Centenary Collection pairing to be offered at Broad Arrow's Monterey Jet Center Auction on August 13-14, 2025 DB4 GT Zagato Continuation to be offered from the DBZ Centenary Collection pairing at Broad Arrow's Monterey Jet Center Auction Grosse Pointe, Michigan, July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Broad Arrow Auctions, a Hagerty (NYSE: HGTY) company, is proud to present an extremely rare Aston Martin DBZ Centenary Collection at its flagship Monterey Jet Center Auction on August 13-14, 2025. The partnership between Aston Martin and Zagato spans over 60 years and has resulted in some of the most iconic and collectible cars in motoring history. In 2019, the famous British marque again teamed up with the Milanese styling house to create the DBZ Centenary Collection, celebrating the relationship between the two brands and 100 years of Carrozzeria Zagato. What emerged from the hallowed Aston Martin Works division at Newport Pagnell, England, was the highly desirable pair of the historic DB4 GT Zagato Continuation and the modern DBS GT Zagato. Sold strictly together, only 19 of each were built and they sold out instantly with a price tag of £6.1 million ($8.1 million), ensuring any future sale would be a very special occasion. 'The Broad Arrow Monterey Jet Center auction has quickly become a fixture of Monterey Car Week, and what better way to kick it off than with one of the rarest collector car duos of modern times,' says Alexander Keck, Car Specialist with Broad Arrow Auctions. 'The Aston Martin DBZ Centenary Collection combines yesteryear with today in a way that is unprecedented in the motoring world, and we are extremely excited to be able to offer this rare pairing to the international car collecting community.' Aston Martin began production of its DB4 GT Zagato Continuation series in 2017, each example an impeccable recreation of the original 1960s model that was built to take on Ferrari on the racetrack. The modern DB4 GT Zagato elevates this masterpiece of design, with subtle updates to enhance the ownership experience. Chassis no. DB4/GT/0239/L exemplifies craftsmanship and design and features an original Vehicle Identification Number that justifies the continuation moniker that dates it as a 1963 example. Finished in stunning Caribbean Pearl, its interior is upholstered in opulent Obsidian Black and Connolly Blue leather with sumptuous blue carpeting. This exquisite example of continuation excellence took 4,500 hours to build, with craftspeople employing traditional methods. With only 62 test and delivery miles on the clock, it features period-correct Smiths gauges, a black crinkle finished dashboard and a wood-rimmed steering wheel. The DB4 GT Zagato Continuation is offered with a Florida title. Sympathetic modern engineering and performance enhancements include carbon fiber seats, while the engine displacement has been increased from the original 3.7-liter straight-six to 4.7-liters, with 390hp at 6,000rpm, a rise in power of 76hp. The competition-specification four-speed gearbox is non-synchronized, the suspension is heim-jointed, and the beautiful silver Borrani wire wheels add an extra element of elegant jewelry to the overall design. Equally stunning is the other half of this incredible set, the 2020 Aston Martin DBS GT Zagato, also finished in Caribbean Blue. Enhancing Marek Reichman's styling of the DBS Superleggera was never going to be easy, but with the DBS GT, Zagato showed exactly what has made it one of the world's most respected design houses for over a century. The 'double-bubble' roof, created to allow space for the driver to comfortably wear a racing helmet, is a signature piece of Zagato design. Constructed from carbon fiber to match the rest of the bodywork, the roof extends to the beautiful and aerodynamically designed tail, while the 'double-bubble' styling can also be seen in the sculpted hood. The signature Aston Martin grille is another focal point of the design, with individual pieces of carbon fiber that move to adjust airflow, further defining the DBS GT Zagato as an instantly recognizable and desirable model. Aston Martin's engineers have elevated the performance and status of the DBS Superleggera to another level. The power of the 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12 has been increased to 760hp with 900Nm of torque, all pushed through an eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox. The interior features opulent Dark Knight monotone leather with embossed Zagato headrest logos. In a first for Aston Martin, many of the trim elements utilize 3D-printed carbon and metal finishes. This includes the famous silver 3D-printed trim inlay that was a £25,000 ($33,000) option on the car. 'With an estimate of $3,500,000 - $4,500,000, the DBZ Centenary Collection set provides an unprecedented opportunity to acquire two iconic models that hold a remarkable place in motoring history,' adds Keck. 'The DB4 GT Zagato is a genuine icon of the 1960s, a timeless masterpiece of design that is worthy of any international collection. Add to that Zagato's modern approach in the DBS GT Zagato and you have two of the most desirable automobiles on the market today, celebrating two of the world's finest motoring brands in a truly exceptional way.' The Aston Martin DBZ Centenary Collection duo is expected to be a major highlight when Broad Arrow returns to The Monterey Jet Center in California for its fourth annual flagship sale on August 13-14. Held in conjunction with Motorlux at the start of Monterey Car Week, this prestigious auction will feature more than 170 desirable collector cars across all categories of the market, set to cross Broad Arrow's signature Monterey auction runway. Broad Arrow's 2024 Monterey Jet Center Auction totaled $71.5 million with an 85 percent sell-through rate, led by the 1997 Porsche 911 GT1 Rennversion at $7,045,000. Collectors interested in registering to bid at the Monterey Jet Center Auction are invited to speak with a Broad Arrow car specialist at +1 313 312 0780.

The $4 Million Barn Find Bugatti Hidden in a Garage for 50 Years
Read the full story on Modern Car Collector In 2009, one of the most astonishing barn finds in automotive history stunned the collector car world. Hidden in a dusty garage in Newcastle, England, sat a 1937 Bugatti Type 57S Atalante—untouched, forgotten, and coated in nearly five decades of dust. When auction house Bonhams announced its discovery, enthusiasts called it a 'once-in-a-lifetime treasure.' But the story behind how this car ended up locked away is almost as fascinating as the car itself. Watch the full story of this incredible Bugatti barn find in our video below. A Forgotten Treasure The Bugatti was found in the garage of Dr. Harold Carr, an eccentric British orthopedic surgeon who purchased the car in 1955. Once owned by Francis Curzon, the 5th Earl Howe, a renowned Le Mans racer, the Type 57S Atalante was already considered a rare and desirable car in the 1950s. But sometime in the 1960s, Carr parked the Bugatti and never drove it again. For the next 50 years, it sat untouched, with cracked tires, cobwebbed headlights, and dust settling on every surface—a true time capsule. What Makes the Bugatti Type 57S Atalante Special The Type 57S Atalante is one of the most sought-after pre-war Bugattis ever built. Only 17 were produced, and its design was considered revolutionary at the time. Equipped with a 3.3-liter straight-eight engine, the 57S Atalante was lightweight, elegant, and fast, with a distinctive teardrop-shaped body that has become one of the most iconic Bugatti silhouettes in history. The fact that this particular car still had its original components intact after 50 years of storage made it even more valuable to collectors. The Auction Frenzy When the Bugatti crossed the auction block at Bonhams in Paris, collectors from around the world competed for the chance to own it. Despite its dusty, unrestored condition, the Atalante sold for an incredible £3.4 million—around $4.4 million USD. Some argued it should be preserved exactly as it was found, while others believed a full restoration would reveal its original beauty. The Mystery of Why It Was Hidden The biggest question remains: why did Dr. Carr hide the car for so long? Some believe he lost interest in driving as he grew older. Others suggest he may have wanted to preserve the car's originality, knowing it could someday be historically significant. There's even speculation that financial concerns or personal reasons may have played a role. Whatever the reason, Carr's decision inadvertently created one of the most important barn finds of all time. A Once-in-a-Lifetime Find Today, the Bugatti Atalante serves as a reminder that automotive treasures are still out there, hidden in garages, barns, and sheds, waiting to be discovered.

How Automotive Tariffs May (Or May Not) Affect Classic Cars
Steven Posner, CEO of Putnam Leasing The Trump administration's tariffs on new automotive vehicles and parts are on the verge of having an impact. The Trump administration has threatened vehicle and parts tariffs since early this year. Trump has levied tariffs on imported vehicles as well as steel and aluminum. There have been delays but Aug. 1 is the next date where tariffs are to take full effect. Trump has delayed tariffs at various times this year. Tariffs are paid by companies that import goods. Those costs typically are passed on to customers. Tariffs are not payments from one country to another. At the same time, tariffs may have an effect on the collectible car market. 'Tariffs do not affect cars 25 year or older,' Steven Posner, CEO of Putnam Leasing, said in a recent interview. However, one-fourth of the way through the 21st century, some collector cars may be affected. They include brands such as Ferrari and Mercedes. 'There's a just a handful of collector cars that are hot in the U.S. market,' Posner added. 'I think it's the law of unintended consequences,' he said. 'It hurts the car broker or car dealer who's interested in something post 2000.' The global automotive industry is full of change. China has been leading the charge for electric vehicles. The U.S., under Trump, is hostile to EVs. Chinese automakers have also seriously revamped product development where new models can be developed much faster than what U.S. and European automakers can accomplish. Posner said high-end buyers of collector cars may go along with the tariffs. 'The individual that buys a Bugatti that costs $4 million and all of it suddenly it costs $5 will spend the extra $1 million.' Collectors of such cars 'are generally wealthy people,' he added. 'You always spend a little bit more.' Some purchasers of such collector cars have 'all their life wanted this particular car.' For now, the world of tariffs, EVs and may come together.
