The car, as described by SLJ Hackett
The BRISTOL ZAGATO GRAND TOURING MODEL is designed to cater for those who desire an even faster car than the standard type 406 saloon. The BRISTOL ZAGATO is lighter and smaller with a tuned version of the 406 Bristol engine.
The lightweight two-door coachwork has been built to the requirements of Anthony Crook Motors Limited by Zagato of Milan, Italy, who have been famous coachbuilders for half a century mainly in the field of high performance cars. The emphasis has been placed on providing extra speed without impairing reliability or flexibility and whilst still retaining reasonable rear seat accommodation a feature normally lacking in Grand Touring saloons.
