Founded in 1913 by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford in London, Aston Martin has built its legacy around elegant British grand touring cars, performance, and a long connection to motorsport. From early competition success to its celebrated victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1959, racing has remained an important part of the marque’s identity. Iconic models such as the DB2, DB4, DB5, DB6, and V8 have defined generations of Aston Martin design, while the brand’s enduring association with James Bond helped make its cars cultural icons. Today, significant vintage and limited-production Aston Martins remain highly sought after by collectors for their craftsmanship, rarity, performance, and unmistakable British character.
