As publisher of British Car Magazine in the 80s and 90s, the Monterey Historics and Pebble Beach Concours was an annual Mecca for me. One year, Aston Martin was the featured marque. I drove my 1968 DB6 from Los Angeles. So abundant were singularly fabulous cars on the lawns of the world-class concours throughout the area that no-less fabulous cars found their way parked on the nearby roadsides like any ordinary conveyance.
And it was one such morning I encountered an Aston-Martin DB4GT Zagato parked on the street outside a cafe, its Avon Turbospeed sidewalls blemished from a hasty curbside parallel-parking manuever.
When will one ever see another parallel-parked DB4GT Zagato?
