Aston Martin DB3 When David Brown took over Aston Martin in in 1947 he already knew that he could increase the popularity of the cars by going racing. So, it didn’t take long before he set out to produce a race car. In order to help him achieve his goal he brought in Eberan von Eberhorst who had had success with Auto Union before the war. Von Eberhorst’s mission was to take the DB2 and turn it into a racing car. The result of this was the Aston Martin DB3 The DB3 first went racing in 1951using a 133 bhp 2.6 litre engine from the DB2 Vantage. This was later replaced by a 2.9 litre engine with 163 bhp.

Aston Martin DB4 Sells at Auction A recent Bonhams auction has just seen the sale of one of the most beautiful GT cars ever produced. The car was the 1961 Aston Martin DB4GT coupe (above) and it sold for just over a million Euros which works out to around £841,000. There are several things that set the GT car apart from the standard Aston Martin DB4. First of all Aston used magnesium-aluminium alloy body panels to reduce the weight of the car. There is also a massive bonnet scoop to aid with engine cooling and you will notice that the headlights are faired in to reduce drag. The wheelbase was also shortened slightly to make the car more agile. All these things help the GT give better performance on the road against the standard DB4. The changes didn’t … Continue reading →

Aston Martin DBS Carbon Edition Since the original Carbon Black edition of the Aston Martin DBS was so popular back in the 2009, Aston Martin have decided to go for it again, but with two new colours added to the original black version. The new colours are Flame Orange and Ceramic Grey. The new paint is set to look stunning too as each new Carbon Edition DBS gets 7 layers of paint followed up by a 25 hour polishing process that will leave the finish on the car as shiny as glass. In keeping with the carbon black theme though there are some styling flourishes that just feel right on this edition of the car. The first of these is a nice black grille. There are also Zircotec coated black taolpipes at the rear that look absolutely fantastic. There … Continue reading →

Aston Martin V12 Zagato We first saw this gorgeous car back in May of 2011 and since then orders for this extremely rare Aston Martin have steadily been coming in. The Aston Martin V12 Zagato goes on sale in mid February at the Kuwait concours d’elegance. At £330,000 it is not a cheap Aston and is considerably more expensive than the Aston Martin V12 Vantage upon which it is based. Mind you, there will only be 150 of these cars built so you do get a certain amount of exclusivity for your money, and lets face it, £330,000 is a lot less expensive than the ultra exclusive, £1m Aston Martin One-77 (only two left for sale by the way, so hurry up if you have a spare million in the bank) The first deliveries of customer cars will take place … Continue reading →
