Geneva Motor Show
March 10th to 20th, 1960
SZ #00001 was the official entry of Alfa Romeo and Zagato
These photos are from the 1960 Geneva Motor which took place March 10th-20th. Alfa Romeo & Zagato featured this very SZ #00001 at the show along side some of Alfa's other models. Fun fact: It was at this 1960 Geneva Show, where Aston Martin's boss David Brown and his technical director John Wyer were introduced to Zagato's bold design of #00001 SZ. Consequently, they met at the show with Technical Director and English speaker Gianni Zagato, and at that moment, the enduring relationship between Aston Martin and Zagato was launched. It could be considered that if they hadn’t seen this very car, then perhaps Aston Martin might never have asked Zagato to design any of their cars.
