DB4 Gt Zagato for me too
Project 212

Takes me back to September 1973. I went to work for someone with a DBS Vantage. That is the one without the chrome grille, but with Vantage 6 engine and wire wheels.

He had paid 6,500GBP for it and I had to take it to Leeds for its 3,000 mile service. Bearing in mind I drove a Mini at the time, and had never ever driven an automatic before, I think you can imagine how I felt, picking up this enormous supercar, in the rush hour, in the middle of the city... Later on, got up to 100mph, and the acceleration from then to 120mph was staggering! I backed off as the fuel gauge was visibily moving, and I hadn't got much cash...

Less than a year later, I had to take it to the auctions down south. It eventually sold for 4,200GBP - so the depreciation was more than my wage...

Anyone know what happened to it, Maroon, OUG 620 L?
