Vantage AM6 CEO by Q

DB2/4 Drophead coupe by Bertone

This particular Aston Martin model is so rare, only two were ever built. It is also one of the most travelled as the rolling chassis was built in the UK, then it was shipped to Italy to receive the coach built body before final finishing in the USA. The page featuring the DB2/4 Drophead coupe by Bertone has been revised with additional images taken at Pebble Beach in 2007.

Lagonda Rapide, plenty of new images and revised page

The Lagonda Rapide has for some time lagged in popularity behind the DB 2 door cars of the same era. Yet with only 55 ever built, they are at last becoming more highly regarded than ever before. The page has had a major revision and now features images of a fair few cars.

DB7 V12 GT – revised page with loads of new images

Often described as the ultimate DB7, the scarce GT model was only available for a year at the end of DB7 production. With the most powerful engine fitted to DB7, only 190 were built making them highly sought after.

15/98 2 litre Saloon  updated page

Quite a while since we have updated a pre-war Aston Martin page so here is one of the rare ones, the 15/98 2 litre saloon. I found a few more images so these have been added to this page today.

More Centenary Timeline photos

I have added more images from the Centenary Timeline on out Facebook page. So far the album has all the examples of the DB4 from the day.

The 2005 RAC TT race, Silverstone

It was 9 years ago that Aston Martin Racing was formed, a partnership between AML at Gaydon and Prodrive at Banbury. And the first, and arguably most successful car of that partnership was the FIA GT1 class DBR9. You may not know this but in four years of active service within the official works team, the AMR DBR9 only ever competed once on British soil at the 2005 RAC Tourist Trophy race at Silverstone. The page featuring this race has now been transferred from the old website to the new  one.

The 2020, a concept based on the DB7

You may not recognise this concept Aston Martin from 2001. It is the Twenty Twenty, designed by Giorgetto and Fabrizio Giugiaro of Italdesign Giugiaro. The page has been fully updated with loads of new images from the 2001 Geneva Motor Show.

V8 Vantage Le Mans page updated

This is one of the greatest Aston Martins of all time. Limited to just 40 examples, the V8 Vantage Le Mans page has had loads of new images added today.

Atom,the important link between the pre and post war era’s of Aston Martin

The Aston Martin Atom is the important link between the pre and post war era’s of Aston Martin. Another unique car and a star of the Centenary Celebrations of the marque. New page added to the site with many new images.

DB6 Shooting Brake by FLM Panelcraft – New page

In addition to Harold Radford, another independent coachbuilder also offered a shooting brake conversion for the DB6. FLM (Panelcraft) Ltd were based in the Kings Cross area of London and were experienced at converting saloons to both estate and convertible spec. The car illustrated here was commissioned by  the racing driver, Innes Ireland as his daily driver and as of November 2013, was on sale by Aston Martin Works. It is finished in its original, extremely attractive colour scheme of Pearl Grey Metallic, complemented beautifully by the sumptuous deep Red Connolly Hide interior with matching Wilton carpets.
