TimeOut

The current HK masthead reminded me of another "Gun" I once had the pleasure to visit with: Maserati 450/S Costin / Zagato LeMans Coupé !...  

Hello Borgo. How cool is that? Is that Maserati built by the same Zagato that is currently working on Aston Martins? Would like to hear more about this car. -MW

Nicely done in b&w. Borgo, are you into photography?

nice and shiny what a fantastic looking Maserati i havent seen this model before what year is it borgo

One only. Built in 1957. Currently in a private collection in Germany. This message has been edited by Borgo on 2008-09-19 16:19:53

Lovely engine. But that really is not one of Zagato's better designs. Awkward glasshouse (now I know where the Flavia coupe got it's cues) and over hung bulbous nose. DB4Z...now THAT is a car.

and although very few have ever actually seen this car in person, my experience bowled me over,

Photography, industrial design & painting. Nuts aboiut high quality and gorgeous anything, any age.

With Photgraphy, design, and painting, you must have some interesting things to share with us borgo!

Some find me boring. Others caustic. Some amusing. So I often combine all three to keep them guessing....

Thanks for the great pict. Those are really rare these days.

I think there are some excellent photographers here, many far better than myself ! This message has been edited by Borgo on 2008-09-19 22:20:37 This message has been edited by Borgo on 2008-09-19 22:23:37...  

i think there is only one zagato and i didnt know he was doing the aston martins is this true? thats why they look amazing he is responsible for producing some amazing looking cars Alfa Romeos come to mind i think Lancia too

A few years back at the Pebble Beach Concours I recall seeing a DB7 limited edition by Zagato. I believe there were only 99 made. Let me see If I have pics form back then. It was such a beautiful car and really stood out. Are you a Maserati fan?

who doesnt i do like my cars though

What cars do you have? Care to share with the rest of us?

Well, in this case , this is not only a CAR, but a piece of Art... Love it! And a beautiful pic, too! Thanks for sharing this beauty. Nicolas

But potentially, isn't everything ? It's just that we've allowed the marketing experts to control our diets. Marcel Duchamp pointed that out at the beginning of the last century. Was anyone listening ?...
