Gordon Sutherland, though he had an exciting prototype in Atom, realised that he did not have the funds to take the necessary steps to get it into production. David Brown, an industrialist from Yorkshire, was the next enthusiast to take the name forward, along with Lagonda, which he had also purchased, and produced some of the most sought after sporting machines. Even he could not resist putting his reputation on the line by striving for outright success in sports car and grand prix racing. He did achieve his ambition with the DBR1 in 1959 by winning the Le Mans 24 Hour race along with the World Championship for Sports Cars. With this success under his belt, he decide to retire from racing to concentrate on the next designs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eowever, pressure from a French dealer brought him back into racing with the Project cars, but while very effective, the will was not present so permanent retirement came in 1963. Meanwhile, the DB2 and its offspring, the DB2-4 series, which were the first sporting hatchbacks, satisfied the enthusiast and were followed by the DB4 with its sleek coachwork designed in Italy and its more sporting brother, the DB4GT and its sexy sibling, the DB4GT with coachwork by Zagato. The super car era had now arrived and the DB5, made famous by Agent 007, James Bond, was followed by the DB6, now rather more a grand tourer than sports car. As has been the story so far, life at Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd was far from easy and the following David Brown story in which an opportunist friend sidled up to him asking to be sold a car at cost, to which David reacted with enthusiasm suggesting that it would be the first car he had sold without personal subsidy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe story may be apocryphal but serves to illustrate the Company difficulties that seemed to bedevil them.

By default, it also chronicles the various upheavals that occurred in the company between the years 1972 when Sir David Brown sold the company to Company Developments, its near certain death in 1974 and its revival by the Sprague-Minden-Curtis-Flather consortium. The latter group took the company to new realms with the mighty 400b.h.p.

However, one has to note that a very French car with the tearing calico exhaust note was also designed by a man with an Italian name, Ettore Bugatti! Indeed, the story of both marques have a common link, Giuseppe Stefanini's FENC Isotta Fraschini.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe late Griff Borgeson, one of the greatest researchers of the Bugatti story, explored and established the link between Bugatti and the Isotta in his book Bugatti The Dynamics Of Mythology and when Lionel Martin and his business partner, Robert Bamford, decided that they wished to make a high quality light car in 1912, they used an FENC IF chassis but powered by a Coventry Simplex engine of 1.4 litres.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBamford \u0026amp; Martin Ltd, was the little company run by the two cycling enthusiasts mentioned above which was based in West London. The next expression of their thinking appeared in 1914 when the first car with the name Aston-Martin was registered for use on the road. Why not a Bamford \u0026amp; Martin you may well ask? Well it was thought that it was important to appear early in any classified advertisements in the motoring press and Martin had enjoyed some success at a hill climb in Hertfordshire called Aston Hill, on the Rothschild estate near Tring. So Aston-Martin it was. Hidden behind the following record is the constant struggle by the various owners of the company to stay afloat not that they made things easy for themselves by spending a great deal time and money on racing while not making enough cars to cover the costs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThus Bamford and Martin failed in 1925 but the name Aston-Martin was rescued by Messrs Renwick \u0026amp; Bertelli Ltd. who in turn got into difficulties in 1932. That there was a great depression in the world's economies did nothing to help matters. Gordon Sutherland was the next to come to the rescue in 1933. He brought the company into the real world when he realised that to go racing, while great fun, needed to be backed up by a sound financial structure, which was not constantly drained by the apparent need to maintain a reputation by being seen in competition. By giving support to the many private owners, he did manage to keep the name before the public.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis portfolio covers in some detail the life \u0026amp; adventures of early Aston Martin cars from 1921 to 1947.

Aston Martin is one of the greatest names in motorsport, with a racing history that started in 1921. Aston Martin cars — with names such as 'Coal Scuttle', 'Green Pea', 'Razor blade' and 'Sweatbox' — were raced or used for record attempts at Brooklands and elsewhere. Two 1,500cc cars with twin overhead camshaft engines even ran in the 1922 French Grand Prix. By 1926 A.C. Bertelli was running the company and in 1928 Aston Martin entered the Le Mans 24 Hours race for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the 1920s and 1930s — despite many successes at Le Mans and in the Tourist Trophy — financial problems hindered any real development.

The superb V8 engine, initially of 4.8 litres, developed for the DBS was an engineering tour de force, producing over 300bhp in standard trim. Silky smooth, it was refined yet powerful and eminently tuneable. However, some early failures led to more development work and the engine was not finally ready until mid-1969, by which time it had evolved into a 5.3-litre unit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn 1972 the company was sold and the last of the 'DB' cars came off the production line in 1973 to be replaced by the AM V8, a subtly modified and updated DBS V8. In late 1974, at the height of the oil crisis, the company hit problems and the receivers were called in. After being shut for most of 1975, production restarted in earnest under new ownership in 1976. A new Lagonda saloon was announced later that year. Designed by William Towns, it was a most startling piece of design. However, the state-of- the-art electronics were well ahead of their time and it was 1978 before the company produced a working version of the car and a further year before it was fully ready for the buying public.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA Vantage was introduced in 1977 and helped keep Aston at the top of the supercar league. The third new car to be introduced was a convertible. Launched as the V8 Volante, the car was an immediate sales success in the USA, and as such did not reach UK customers until 1980, a year that saw AML change owner yet again. It also saw the Bulldog appear — a one-off prototype with gullwing doors and LED instrument panels.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThroughout the 1980s more cars were introduced, including the Vantage Volante, a revised V8 saloon with electronic fuel injection, the Zagato, and the final car of the decade, the all-new Virage. By this time Ford had taken a share in the company. Series production of the Virage began in 1990, just at the start of an economic recession. Sales for 1990 were good, with many orders dating back two years, but by 1992 times were desperate. Despite being purchased outright by Ford in 1991, only careful use of cash saw the company survive and another new model, the DB7, introduced. Acclaimed as one of its most beautiful cars of all time, the DB7 was the first Aston in almost twenty years not to feature a V8, and saved the company from bankruptcy. The V8 continued though, with a Viragebased Lagonda saloon and estate followed by a Volante. In 1993 came the Vantage, and in 1995 the V8 Coupe.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe story was to end by the late 1990s as the venerable V8 could no longer meet emissions regulations. To celebrate the engine and to finish the production, two special editions were announced, the Vantage Le Mans and the Vantage Volante Special Edition. The last of 5,016 V8-powered cars, a Volante Special Edition, left the factory on 20 October 2000, ending an era for Aston Martin that had seen it go from boom to bust until its flourishing success under Ford's wing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is the story of the Aston Martin V8 and of the 5,016 cars fitted with that engine in the thirty-one years from 1969.

Looking back through the celebrated DB series and the V8s, Aston owner and enthusiast Robert Edwards details each car's development, the engines, bodywork and appointments, and shares with us his driving impressions.

In doing this he reveals a great deal of interesting material on policy making, the day to day activities of the factory, the development of the cars that did or did not make production, and the problem cars such as the Estate Cars, the D.B.6. Convertibles and the James Bond Cars. Essential to engineering decisions are design problems, safety aspects, styling trends and the various requirements of different countries, and these are also discussed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom all this comes a personal history of a company whose high standards and ideals have made a considerable contribution to British engineering ; Dudley Gershon believed totally in these ideals, never compromising the quality and high-performance safety which was always synonymous with the Aston Martin Marque.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Author was originally apprenticed at Riley (Coventry) Limited during their famous pre-Nuffield era, and developed then the keen interest in high-performance cars and motorcycles that has always influenced his career.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHe was mobilised in 1939 and then remained in the Services, in Engineering and Management capacities, after the war until rejoining the motor industry in 1962 as Works Co-ordinator for the Henly Organisation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn late 1963 he joined the David Brown Corporation as Service Manager of Aston Martin Lagonda Limited at Feltham and, after moving that department and re-establishing it at Newport Pagnell alongside the main factory, he became Assistant General Manager of the Company in 1965.
