What car is this?

I was shopping at Westfield in West London yesterday and saw this parked up near my car. First thoughts was either Bond has gone shopping, or else someone equally brave/stupid has taken their priceless classic Aston to show off!

This car was absolutely pristine and perfect, like it had just rolled out of the factory.

But who else knows what it actually is?

That is an Aston Martin DB4 Zagato replica/recreation.

Is it a DB4 GT Zagato?
Pretty sure they make a replica of this car so could actually be quite new.
Parked next to a fiesta too!
I'd be worried about parking this anywhere

I guess it’s not a real one as they’re worth about £10M!

It's on a 2004 reg so can't be any older than 2004

It’s an Evanta, they use a modern Aston donor car.

Looks different to that mate, it doesn’t have those squared off flared arches.

You can probably get different models or have them bespoke made.

Yes, me too. It was truly stunning! I'd bet it also drives much better than an original DB4 too.

I was tempted to hang around just to hear, especially as in a multi story it would sound even better than normal!
