For a century the name of Aston Martin has been synonymous with performance, style and refinement.
Perhaps more than any other luxury car has a mystique and charisma that have defined it as a cultural icon and the pinnacle of automotive ingenuity. Yet the survival of the brand has not always been assured.
In 'Aston Martin Power, Beauty and Soul' the author David Dowsey explores the story of Aston Martin, from his humble beginnings in a London garage in 1913, to his acquisition by the Ford Motor Company in 1987 and to the sale in 2007. Many of the characters intimately involved in the various stages of the car's history offer fascinating insights into Aston Martin's development and entertaining behind-the-scenes anecdotes.
The delightful interpretations of Mike Harbar add a fascinating dimension to the book. With lush color photographs, the complete specifications of all models from the initial DB up to the V8 Vantage Roadster, and production statistics and racing results, 'Aston Martin Power, Beauty and Soul' is an indispensable reference for engine enthusiasts and does justice to the name of Aston Martin.
