This was one of the competitors in the BRDC '60s GT Race at the Christie's International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1992.
Shown in the programme of the event as Simon Draper's 1960 Aston Martin Zagato, but it was actually built in 1991. The original intention in 1960 was to build 23 of the Aston Martin DB4GT Zagatos and chassis numbers were set aside for them, but only 19 were actually completed. In 1991 Aston Martin approached Zagato with the suggestion that they should build four additional cars to the same specifications, except that they would have the 4,212cc engine instead of the original 3,670 unit. The four cars were given the unused chassis numbers 0192, 0196, 0197, and 0198 (Simon Draper's car being 0196) and they would be known as Sanction II models.
