Aston Martin

Aston Martin Are a car-company they create super-stylish, slim looking car's. The first car they released was in 1921 and was Aston Martin Standard Sports.They have starred many times on Top Gear

Jeremy, James and Richard are all Aston fans and both men and cars have taken part in unusual challenges together. Richard, in a Vantage, raced a man on rollerblades; James drove an N24 round Europe on a journey to find the world's best road (despite drowning in his own sweat and suffering from a sore bottom); and Jeremy raced a DB9 down to Monte Carlo.

Top Gear have demonstrated why these thoroughbred supercars are as well-known as they are and will hopefully continue to do so for as long as possible.

Country of origin: England Year started: 1913 First model produced: Aston Martin Standard Sports in 1921 Original owners of company: Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford Badge: Lionel Martin was a successful racer at the famous Aston Hillclimb. He combined the names to get Aston Martin. Trivia: In 1947 Aston Martin was bought by David Brown. His first car, in 1948, was a DB model, the beginning of a series still around today.

For a long time Aston Martin was made in Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire. Sadly, Aston is now owned by Ford and the Newport Pagnell factory recently closed. Sorry about that.
