Aston Martin - Behind the Wheel of a Motoring Icon
In 1913, this luxury and racing car brand was created by Robert Bamfort and Lionel Martin. The latter won the Aston Clinton race that same year. Thus was born the legendary name Aston Martin in memory of the name of the race associated with that of the winner. The history of the English brand is peppered with many twists and turns that put quality and sportiness above all else.
It was not until David Brown in 1947 that Aston Martin entered the pantheon of exceptional automobiles with the famous and long line of DBs. Its history, built around sportiness and luxury, should continue for a long time, while having taken a new turn, at the beginning of 2020, since the brand was bought by billionaire Lawrence Stroll, owner of Racing Point F1.
With this book illustrated with more than 300 photos and drawings, this adventure is dissected thanks to an exhaustive, technical and historical cataloguing where all the models are represented, with numerous tips to differentiate the successive versions.
