Initially the name of the company consisted of the names osnovateley- Bamford & Martin, but in 1914 the company Martin won the race to the Aston Clinton hill, driving a car of its own design - Singer-10 on the basis of the Italian Isotta. This landmark event owners decided to perpetuate in the new brand name - so it turned out Aston Martin. During its history, the brand has repeatedly passed from hand to hand. Under the leadership of David Brown, who bought the company in 1947, some of the most famous Aston Martinov came out: the first model of the DB series and its racing version - DBR1 (1957). During his reign Aston Martin teamed up with Lagonda and won the victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
A new round of Aston Martin history occurred in 1972, when the company was sold to a Birmingham-based consortium of Campaign Development Limited, and then resold to two American entrepreneurs - Peter Sprague and George Minden. In this period came the famous Aston Martin V8, which in the UK revolutionized the sports car market, where the Italians used to dominate.
In 1987, the next owner of Aston Martin was the American concern Ford, who bought a 75% stake in the company. In 1993, Americans received full control over the brand. Under the wing of Ford was developed and debuted Aston Martin DB7, from which the development of modern design of the brand began. The "seven" was conceived as an entry-level model, but eventually (with the release of V12 in 1999) took the place of the flagship. Such cars were produced 7000pieces, this is one of the most popular cars of the company.
It's interesting to know
Cars of the British brand are still assembled by hand, so they are produced by today's standards in very limited series. Today, the assembly capacity of Aston Martin is within 300 cars per year. The master who assembled the machine leaves its own brand on it.
Almost nothing has changed since the company was founded. The assembly of machines is carried out in small hangars without the use of modern technologies. Ford decided not to change the tradition and not to install automated assembly lines.
