There has been a major update of the DB7 section with many new photographs of previously unseen cars.
More pictures of the Centenary Vanquish added today. Here is a close up of what is the best Aston Martin wings badge ever. The Centennial editions all receive bespoke sterling silver AM wings badges, to a new design featuring additional rays within the wings visible through the transparent enamel.
No excuses needed to tell you that we have added new images of the DB9 Spyder Zagato Centennial. The Spyder has recently been seen on the Concept Lawn during the 2013 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegence; quite easily the most desirable new Aston Martin of this Centenary Year.
The page featuring the wonderfully unusual DBSV8 Sotheby Special has been updated with new photographs of the original car. The Sotherby Special, with coachwork designed and built by Ogle Design is rarely seen in public so it was special for it to be included in the Centenary Timeline at Kensingtonn Palace in July 2013.
This is not an Aston Martin yet is a very important piece of Aston Martin history. This Lola T70 raced during 1967 with a prototype of the AM V8 engine that went on to be used in Aston Martins for the next 30 years.
Having been unable to be at Le Mans in 2010, I missed one of only two possible opertunities to photograph the AMR-One, the LMP1 racecar that was just a little too ahead of it’s time. No worries, thankfully one was displayed in Parc Prive during the Aston Martin Centenary Celebrations in Kensington Palace during July 2013.
The programme for the Centenary Celebrations is now available from Aston Martin online. As was a co-writer and contributor to the publication, I can tell you how hard everyone worked to create a wonderful souvenir of the greatest AM event of all time
And yes, I really did go up on a crane to take this image.
The fastest series production Aston Martin, the extreme
V12 Vantage S is featured on a new page today
Loads of new photos of the CC100 Speedster Concept taken at both the design centre at Gaydon and the Centennary Timeline at Kensington Palace, London
Built 25 years ago but only now has this unique car the V8 Long Wheelbase saloon been seen in public. Now at long last, I can add it to this site.
A real highlight of the Kensington Palace Aston Martin Centenary Timeline, marking the 100 years of the company, was the debut of two unique coachbuilt Zagatos, the DBS Coupe Zagato Centennial and the DB9 Spyder Zagato Centennial. The association between the two companies began over 50 years ago and Aston Zagatos are always outstanding and sometimes a little challenging too.
