Aston Martin is more than a car manufacturer-it is a symbol of British elegance, cinematic glamour, and high-octane performance. From the dusty roads of early hill climbs in 1913 to the thundering circuits of Le Mans and the glimmer of Hollywood premieres, Aston Martin’s story is as riveting as any film it has ever starred in.This definitive narrative history charts the company’s evolution through triumphs and turmoil, from its fragile interwar survival and postwar rebirth under David Brown to its starring roles in James Bond films, cutting-edge design collaborations, and return to Formula One.Combining motorsport grit with red carpet allure, Aston Martin and the Silver Screen explores how a marque born in a London workshop became a national treasure, cultural icon, and cinematic legend. Drawing from over a century of innovation, artistry, and adversity, this book delivers the ultimate celebration of one of Britain’s most enduring symbols of style and speed.
