100 Years... Happy Birthday Aston Martin!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In 1913, Robert Bamford and Lionel Martin founded Bamford and Martin Ltd soon to become Aston Martin. The very first car was produced in 1914 and since then, the company and its successive owners gave birth to 30 distinctive models. So this year, Aston Martin is celebrating its 100th birthday.
As a car/Aston Martin enthusiast and an avid brochure collector, I checked the Aston website for some information about the Centenary and came across a digital brochure about the company's history, models and centenary events taking place throughout the year. Unfortunately, the brochure was only available for download and my email to their customer service, enquiring for a paper copy, was unsuccessful. Thankfully, I managed to get in touch with someone very helpful, who was willing to send one to me. I hoped for two weeks, and yesterday, it was by the door, waiting for me. And what a brochure!
I know the blog is about cars I see on the street, but I had to mention Aston's 100th year and this truly exceptional brochure!

Thank you +Aston Martin !
