On Aston Martin

It is ten years since we published Aston Martin – The Compleat Car. Aston Martin have been very active during this decade, producing many new models under the ownership of the Ford Motor Company. More cars have been sold in the Ford era than in all of the preceding years.

It therefore now seems appropriate to publish a new book looking at the whole history of the company and its cars, bringing the story up to date. Over 700 photographs have been chosen, the bulk of these either commissioned by us from Richard Newton or selected from Brian Joscelyne’s extraordinary archive, mostly colour and never seen before. The rest of the pictures, sales brochures, period racing pictures etc., have been sourced for us by David Lewington.

Neil Murray has written a new history, using the sound scholarship of Aston Martin – The Compleat Car but expanding and improving on the original. On Aston Martin is intended to be the reference book, telling the story of the company, the production and special-bodied cars, pre and post war motor racing and showing the differences between all the models as they evolved. Richard Loveys as prepared a lengthy overview of Aston Martin model cars that features almost 40 photographs.

Once again, Stuart Brill, of the Senate and now of BRILL has assembled the component parts, some 750 photographs and 100,000 words of text into a monster book, the dimensions of which are 35cms x 35cms and over 500 pages.
