The 6 cylinder DBS page has had a makeover this week with loads of new images added. This popular starter ‘classic’ Aston Martin is strongly tipped to be the model to watch following the huge increase in values of the DB4, DB5 and DB6 in recent years.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The timeline Astons are now being arraigned on the Broadwalk at Kensington Palace. Once in place, they are carefully covered. Once unveiled tomorrow, it will become the greatest gathering of Aston Martins, the world has ever seen.
