A designer never rests

Ugo Zagato was an Italian automobile designer, famous for his lightweight designs and implementing aircraft industry construction techniques within the car industry. Zagato’s cars were advanced in design and became synonymous with light weight and excellent aerodynamics. Alfa Romeo, Fiat and Lancia immediately realised the advantages of his rakish, streamlined designs. In recent times Zagato is a name synonymous with Aston Martin. Michael one of directors and fan of all things Lancia has recently completed his restoration project, a Lancia Fulvia Zagato. The Zagato boasts a complete aluminium body and some 1960’s styling features. Michael’s Zagato Series 2 has matching engine and chassis numbers which shows his attention to detail and will prove to be a hit within the ropes of classic car meets in the future.
