Aston Martin DB4 Zagato

This photograph was taken at what was then the Foulstons chicane during the Inter-Marque championship race at the Aston Martin Owners Club's Autumn Historic Car Races meeting at Oulton Park in September 1993.
Leading is the 1990 Aston Martin DB4 Zagato of Geoffrey Harris (one of the Sanction models) followed by the 1960 DB4 Zagato of James Taylor. I can't identify the next car, but behind that is the 1982 Porsche 911 of Alistair Sinclair then the 1964 Jaguar E-Type of Allen Lloyd. The red car on its way to Shell Oils Corner appears to be the 1979 Porsche 911 of Graham Owlett.

Aston Martin

Here are four cars that took part in the Aston Martin Owners Club's Autumn Historic Car Races meeting at Oulton Park in September 1993.
This car is shown in the programme of the event as a 1990 Aston Martin DB4 Zagato, entered and driven that day by Geoffrey Harris. It would therefore appear to be one of the four Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato Sanction II cars built between 1989 and 1991.
Here is John Freeman's 1970 Aston Martin DBS V8. The original DBS produced from 1967 to 1972 used the straight-six engine from the DB6, and the DBS V8 joined it in 1969, remaining in production until 1989, from 1973 known simply as the Aston Martin V8.
This is Simon Draper's 1960 Aston Martin DB4, a car which replaced the DB MkIII and which  preceded the DB5, the famous 'James Bond' car.
Fourways Engineering Ltd's 1960 Aston Martin DB4 Zagato, driven by James Taylor. It's possibly a standard DB4 rebuilt with a Zagato style body by Fourways Engineering (see the link to the Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato Sanction II above).
