HISTORY
The Aston Martin brand came about in 1913 when two individuals, Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford came together to sell cars that had been manufactured by Singer. They were initially based in Callow Street, London, and this served as a spot for servicing cars such as the Calthorpe vehicles. Martin, one of the founders usually raced special cars at Aston Hill, and this pushed the pair to decide to make their own cars. It didn’t take long before they made their own car; a car which was Martin created by placing a four-cylinder Coventry-Simplex engine in a 1908 Isotta Frashchini’s chassis.
