A bit about Aston Martin

Aston Martin is a British icon – a homegrown car manufacturer that is associated with both luxury and speed.

Aston Martin was founded in 1913, by Robert Bamford and Lionel Martin. Originally calling the company ‘Bamford & Martin,’ they later rebranded as ‘Aston Martin’ – retaining Lionel Martin’s surname but adding in ‘Aston’ – a reference to Aston Hill, a famous motorsports venue, where Martin, a keen racing driver, would test drive their cars.

Aston Martin produced its first vehicle in 1915, but production at the company was summarily halted due to the outbreak of the First World War. Their next car wasn’t produced until 1919.

Disaster struck Aston Martin in the 1920s. By this time, the company was making their mark in motorsports, producing innovative sports cars, largely funded by racing enthusiast Count Louis Zebrowski. During the 1924 Italian Grand Prix, Zebrowski was racing one of the Aston Martins, when it spun out of control and killed him outright. Following the high-profile accident, the Aston Martin company went bankrupt.

In 1926, an investment team that included Augustus Bertelli took over Aston Martin. As the company’s new Technical Director, Bertelli designed some of the classic Aston Martin models, including the International, MKII, Ulster, Le Mans, and T-Type.

Aston Martin was bought again in 1947 – this time by a former tractor manufacturer named Sir David Brown. The famous ‘DB’ models were launched by Aston Martin during his ownership and took their names from his initials.

Aston Martin launched the DB-4 in 1959 – a genuine supercar of its time. The car was powered by a 3.7 engine and could reach a top speed of 250 kilometres per hour. The DB series was extremely popular – and this led to several different versions of this model with a range of modifications. The DB-4 was then further developed – and this led to the manufacture of the Aston Martin DB-5. This model was powered by a 4-litre engine with 282 HP.

Aston Martin has a well-known big-screen association with the fictional secret agent James Bond. The Aston Martin DB-5 makes a noticeable debut in the film Goldfinger (1964), but the same model also features in several films in the long-running franchise – including, most recently, Skyfall (2012).

The company changed hands again in the late 1980s. This time being acquired by the Ford Motor Company following a period of prolonged financial pressure. Sales of Aston Martin cars increased exponentially following this takeover. By the mid-1990s, Aston Martin had gone from selling one hundred luxury cars per year to more than seven hundred.

Ford also brought the legendary DB designation – and in 1993, a grand tourer car with an extremely powerful 335 HP V-6 engine was released under the name the Aston Martin DB-7.
