ASTON MARTIN
Aston Martin appeared at the dawn of the automotive industry - at the beginning of the 20th century. The company was founded by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford. Like many car enthusiasts of the time, Martin was passionate about car racing. Therefore, the name of the company comes from his name and ... from the hill Aston Hill Climb, located in Buckinghamshire. There were held popular competitions in high-speed race to the top. It was in them that in 1914 Lionel won, driving a Singer car.
Robert Bamford was the founder of the company, but left in 1920.
Lionel Martin was well versed in cars and was a wonderful athlete, but he did not have commercial talent. By 1925, the company's business was not going well, and partners Renwick and Bertelli bought it for £6,000. However, the name of Martin will forever remain in the history of the automotive industry.
New stage
In 1936, the company left the narrow sports specialization and began to produce cars for public roads. The Speed model appeared. Although, of course, these were powerful cars, and they were preferred by energetic and extraordinary personalities. The cost of Aston Martin was still quite high, but for buyers it was never decisive.
And again the war. Many industries, including Aston Martin Motors Ltd, refocused on the production of products for the front, so instead of cars, it began to manufacture parts for aviation enterprises.
DB era
A significant milestone in the history of the company was its transition in 1947 to David Brown. The name of the owner appears in the logo, and it is from his initials that the name of the legendary Aston Martin series, DB, is formed. In 1959, the DB3 model appeared with an aluminum 3.7-liter 6-cylinder engine with two overhead camshafts with a capacity of 240 hp. She developed 257 km / h - a real supercar for its time! Then, in 1959, the Aston Marin DB3 crossed the Le Mans finish line first.
The company changed owners several times, and in 1987 Ford acquired 75% of the shares. Aston Martin returns to the sport again and in 2007 and 2008 becomes the winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
