Auto-Zagaia (Portugal) - AllCarIndex

Auto Zagaia was a Portuguese automotive manufacturer active from 1988 until approximately 1990. The company specialized in producing replicas of the Porsche 356 Speedster, a model that gained popularity for its classic design and performance. The initiative was led by Nunez, a racing driver with a background in Porsche vehicles, alongside his son.

The production of the Auto Zagaia replicas was licensed from APAL, a Belgian company known for its fiberglass-bodied cars. The vehicles were manufactured by a Volkswagen concessionaire located in Lisbon, which facilitated the assembly and distribution of these replicas in Portugal. The model was later rebranded as the Classico, reflecting its homage to the classic Porsche design.

Despite its brief operational period, Auto Zagaia contributed to the niche market of automotive replicas in Portugal, appealing to enthusiasts of vintage sports cars.
