Full Description
Aston Martin is the Great British survivor among
car manufacturers. Created
as Bamford & Martin in 1913, Aston Martin's subsequent century-long
existence has seen the company go bust seven times,
win the Le Mans 24 Hours and become indispensable transport for a certain movie
spy. This comprehensive and timely two-volume study by Russell Hayes covers
Aston Martin's adventure from the very beginning, setting the cars in context
with the changing automotive world and rivals, and adding insights from contemporary
road tests and first-hand accounts from recent company personalities. Fourteen
chapters make sense of every Aston Martin for both the cognoscenti and the
uninitiated, supported by a lavish array of photographs. This major book is the
last word on Aston Martin.
