1961 Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato '2 VEV'
The Ex-Le Mans 1961 Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato to be auctioned at the 2018 Goodwood Festival Of Speed Sale on 13th July.
Driven by Jim in 1961 and 1962, 2 VEV was seriously damaged in 1962 during a crash at Spa and was replaced by a new car built at the factory to another specification, with the same registration number and incorporating many modifications. Another accident in 1993 except this time on the road returned the car to Works Service at the factory which returned it to 1962 specification.
