Aston Martin (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Aston Martin is now more than a century old - and what a century it has been. Since its birth in London on the eve of the First World War, the company has experienced the highs of racing triumph - most famously in the 1959 Le Mans 24-hour race - and the lows of bankruptcy, yet throughout it all has been in the first rank of British marques. Published in association with the Aston Martin Heritage Trust and written by enthusiast Richard Loveys, Aston Martin is a fully illustrated history of the company that has created some of the the world's best loved and most widely respected cars, including James Bond's iconic DB5. It covers the cars themselves, the personalities and talents who have shaped Aston Martin from owners to engineers, the drivers who have shared with the company in racing glory, and the centenary celebrations of 2013.
