This definitive work covers the early David Brown Aston Martins from the 1948 Two-Litre Sports to the DB3S sports racer. The development of these post-war models is covered in detail and each model receives comprehensive treatment with detailed technical descriptions, and information on production changes, performance, road manners and competition history. There is also advice on owning and running these wonderful cars today.
Our fifth book on Aston Martin starts with the introduction in 1994 of the DB7. Many people saw it as a sexed up Jaguar, not a true Aston - also it had a pressed steel body instead of a hand-built aluminium one, and "they plan to make lots of them, cannot be an Aston", and so on. However, it was successful and 7,049 were made which was a fantastic achievement considering that since 1920 only some 12,000 cars of all types had been made. The new V12 DB9, made in the company's first purpose-built, up-to-date factory at Gaydon, restored the hand-built image but with added up-to-date engineering features.
