Richard Meins and Rob Huff - 1961 Aston Martin DB4GT Special at the 2016 Goodwood Revival (Photo 1) 
Here is a shot of the 1961 Aston Martin DB4GT Special with coachwork by Carrozzeria Zagato, owned and raced by Richard Meins.
Originally owned by Sir Max Aitken and Bobby Buchanan-Michaelson, chassis DB4GT/0148/R originally wore the registration number plates "418 UPE" and "X 111" but now has the "616 JGY" mark.
The car itself started out as a DB4GT when purchased by Sir Max Aitken, but when Bobby Buchanan-Michaelson took ownership, he had the car sent back to Newport Pagnell and rebuilt to his specification in 1967 and 1968. The car ended up being classified by Aston Martin as a "DB GT Special".
Fast forward 30 years and the car passed into the hands of Victor Gauntlett, who was the former Aston Martin Lagonda chairman, who saw the opportunity to have the car rebuilt to Zagato specification.
You can read more on this interesting history over on the Bonhams site.
