So far as I can reasonably say, all of the cars here are ‘real’ Aston Martins. That is that they are based on a genuine Aston Martin DB4/5/6/S chassis and an Aston Martin straight six cylinder engine as designed by Tadek Marek. I have steered away from featuring re-bodied DB7’s and avoided like the plague absolute fakes with no disenable Aston Martin parts whatsoever.

As FAS302 is on sale, it has it’s very own website. This particular car is quite interesting as it is a accurate replica of DB4GT/200/R, the very first Aston Martin Zagato.  The original front of 0200/R was damaged in a racing accident early in its life and was never repaired to it’s original ‘shark-nose’ shape. All other Zagatos had a simplified nose, so FAS302, with original spec ‘shark-nose’ is quite unique and genuinely attractive.

I must though issue a small note of warning over Zagato replicas based on genuine DB4 chassis. As the chassis has to be modified by having some length cut out, DVLA in the UK have considered theses cars of indeterminate age. As such, they would probably not be eligible for the rolling 40 year exemption from annual MOT testing and vehicle excise duty. Worse is that they may apply a ‘Q’ non-age related numberplate.
