Aston Martin is a marque that holds a special place in the British
motor industry. As a manufacturer of cars for over 100 years, its
history is tied up with the British psyche, and the marque holds a
special place in the hearts of all motoring enthusiasts. This book
charts the history of Aston Martin from its early days in central
London, as Banford and Martin, through the Bertelli years in
Feltham and the post-war David Brown years at Newport Pagnell to
the current day with its purpose-built, state-of-the-art factory in
Gaydon, Warwickshire. Now seen as an iconic luxury British sports
car manufacturer, Aston Martin has been designing, manufacturing
and racing cars for over 100 years, almost continuously. Known for
combining quality, style and performance in its products, the
company has often struggled to balance these attributes with
financial success. Fortunately, over the years generous investors
who recognize the potential in the company have always been on hand
to rescue and perpetuate the brand. Looking at the engines, the
cars, the people, the business and car owners, this book tells the
story of a quintessentially British marque.
