Chassis:
One of just eight left hand drive DB4 GT Zagatos built, chassis '178' was displayed in its distinct red colour at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show. The car's first owner, Edy Corthesy, raced it later that year in Spa Grand Prix. Amazingly, this was his first ever race. The car was sold shortly after to an American based collector. In 1962 it graced the cover of 'Car and Driver' magazine. From 1972, it was in the long-term ownership of marque enthusiast Jerry Rosenstock. He would go on to own the car through to 2010 and regularly showed it at events like the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. Through Kidston, it returned to Europe where it was part of two prominent collections before it was acquired by the next custodian in 2020. He had the car entrusted to marque experts for a £625,000 restoration to its 1961 Geneva Motor Show configuration and specification. In 2026, it was shown at the Retromobile show on the stand of Swiss-based broker Kidston.
