Summary

MOTOR CARS: GENERAL INTEREST. For nearly a century now the Aston Martin name has been synonymous with performance, style and sophistication. In this revised and updated edition of 'Aston Martin: Power, Beauty and Soul', author David Dowsey explores the colourful history of Aston Martin, from its humble beginnings in a London garage in 1913, to its takeover by the Ford Motor Company in 1987 and sale in 2007. Many of those intimately involved at the various stages of the car's history offer fascinating insights into the development of the Aston Martin and amusing behind-the-scenes anecdotes. With lush full colour photography and detailed illustrations, comprehensive specifications of every model from the early DB right up to the V8 Vantage Roadster, and production statistics and racing results, 'Aston Martin: Power, Beauty and Soul' is an indispensable reference for motor enthusiasts and a book that truly does justice to the Aston Martin name
