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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Aston Martin have only ever built one mid-engined super car. The Bulldog was unveiled in 1980 yet is still revered 33 years later. This is why it was such a star in the 101 car timeline at the Centenary Celebration in July 2013 at Kensington Palace. The page featuring the Bulldog now as loads of new pictures. Some are press images taken in 1980; others show Bulldog as it is now when it was displayed at the Aston Martin Centenary.
The original DB7 GT was a sadly stillborn project from 1995 designed by Prodrive. Loads of new photos of both examples of the DB7 i6 GT added this morning.
The V8 Zagato Volante page has had something of a refresh this week. Quite a few new pictures of the only convertible car created between Aston Martin and zagato.
