Aston Martin Made in Britain
Aston Martin's first, wickedly fast models were forged at a time when Ferrari's premises at Maranello was nothing but a ploughed field. This book celebrates a century of innovators who kept the fire burning brightly for over a century, from the visionary pioneers Martin and Bamford to modern-day design guru Adrian Newey; from a glamorous web of pre- and post-war spies and racing drivers, to David Brown and the achingly beautiful DB models beloved of Bonds past and present.
Ben Collins explores the car with the double-o prefix from a unique perspective behind the wheel, carving through country lanes in his father's V8 Vantage, driving Aston Martins in four James Bond movies and competing against them in the legendary Le Mans 24-hour race. Ultimately, this is a very British success story: of a triumph of engineering that has burned brightly from the Roaring 20s to the 2020s, and an iconic car that never says die.
From bestselling author, racer and stunt driver Ben Collins - the man who was The Stig - comes a story of spies, speed and hard-driving genius: a driver's love letter to one of the world's best-loved machines.

Perhaps more than any other luxury car it possesses a mystique and charisma that have established it as a cultural icon and the pinnacle of automotive ingenuity. Yet the brand's survival has not always been assured. That Aston Martins are still being produced today is testament to the power of the name and what it represents to car lovers worldwide.

Mike Harbar's delightful renderings add a charming bespoke dimension to the book.

Aston Martin, Power, Beauty and Soul (2nd Edition)
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.
John Christopher takes a fresh look at 100 years of Britain's most iconic car company, Aston Martin. From the origins of the Aston Martin marque, through the gadget-laden stars of numerous James Bond films, to the prestigious super-cars that continue to be market leaders throughout the world.
Aston Martin was nearly called Bamford Martin, as founders Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford were already selling cars together, but in the end the company was named after the Aston Hill speed hill-climb near Aston Clinton in Buckinghamshire. Their first car was produced in 1915 but war and financial troubles often tempered progress and the company went through various changes in ownership on its way to becoming the global icon it is today.
Following the typical Story book format, this sleekest of cars is celebrated with a wealth of colour photographs, facts and statistics.
Aston Martin Ulster : The remarkable history of CMC 614 (Exceptional Cars)
CMC 614 is the registration number of an historic Aston Martin Ulster which has, without doubt, competed in more races than any other Aston. Built in 1935 to the same specification as the factory team cars, it took part in the Le Mans 24 Hour race, the Mille Miglia, and the Tourist Trophy in 1935. Eddie Hall and Count Johnny Lurani were among the celebrated drivers who raced it in its first season.
The 1.5 litre Ulster model marked the peak of Aston's pre-war achievements and marque enthusiasts recognize CMC 614 as one of the finest examples of the 28 made - as well as the most raced Aston of all time.
Today, CMC 614 is presented as equipped for Le Mans in 1935 and is original in virtually all respects, having been maintained by Ecurie Bertelli, the business which Edwards co-founded with fellow Ulster owner Nick Mason. The book is lavishly illustrated with a mix of period and contemporary images including a gallery of colour photographs showing the car and all its fascinating details.

Aston Martin Ulster : The remarkable history of CMC 614
As amazing as it is to 21st century eyes, the Lagonda was beyond astounding when it still in showrooms. Back then, it was science fiction made real. Today, its charm lies in the optimism of another era; a future that in some ways never really arrived and some ways is here in a very real way.
This book goes into extreme detail about the car, the people behind the car, and the people who bought the car. There is some information on nearly every car made. With 253 pages and over 785 photos, including photos of almost 400 of the 645 cars produced, this book is a must-have for all enthusiasts.
Details thoroughly the design and development of Aston Martin engines including the 580X Vantage, the Virage, and the V8 Coupe. In particular it focusses on the twin supercharged 32 valve Vantage engine - an engine which set new standards, being the most powerful production car engine in the world at the time of its release in 1992.
Illustrated with photographs from that time and including power and torque curves, this book provides a unique look into a period of Aston's history, written by one of the key men involved in making it happen. It gives an insight into life at the AM factory at Newport Pagnell; an understanding of the benefits of Supercharging at the time of manufacture; and a historic record of engine design, development and production that would otherwise have been lost to time. "Aston Martin Engine Development" will appeal to Aston Martin owners and enthusiasts and to anyone else with an interest in engines and high-performance cars.
Arthur George Wilson joined Aston Martin in the early part of 1959. In a career spanning over 40 years, he took up the post of AML Head of Engines in 1984 where he stayed until his retirement in 2000. He developed the 580X Vantage engine, the 32 valve engine and designed and developed the twin supercharged 32 valve Vantage engine, and the engine for the normally aspirated V8 Coupe.

Aston Martin - Alliance du sport et du luxe (Autofocus)
Depuis la création de la marque en 1913, Aston Martin n’a de cesse de pousser à l'extrême les performances, l’esthétisme et la qualité de ses modèles. Dérivées des prototypes de course, les voitures d’avant-guerre ont permis à la marque de bâtir sa réputation sur les circuits. Suivirent les légendaires DB de l’ère David Brown, et particulièrement la médiatique DB5 pilotée par le célèbre agent 007. L’arrivée du V8 au début des années 1970 inaugure une nouvelle génération d’Aston Martin, donnant naissance aux fameuses DBS V8 et AM V8 puis à la lignée de Vantage, sans oublier la très exclusive Lagonda. En 2001, la marque impressionne avec l’étonnante Vanquish et son V12 de 6 litres. Trois ans plus tard, la DB9 et sa déclinaison découvrable, la Volante, complètent la gamme, rendant la marque plus accessible. Aston Martin est synonyme d'excellence et ses véhicules légendaires sont reconnus pour être les plus convoitées au monde.
