Last but not the least: this book is fulfilled with splendid historic and contemporary pictures (black & white and colour). A trully must have on the bookshelves!

A well researched, informative book full of superb photos.
The book is one of the most accurate that I have read on Aston Martin. Not only is the photography excellent, but the contents of the book is both accurate and informative. The book traces the history of Aston Martin both on the race track and the road right from the marques birth through to the most recent developments. It also contains amusing anec-dotes and a brief history of the competition cars. This book is ideal as either a starter book for the Aston enthusiast or for the more ardent fan. Not only that, but the book is a very satisfying one to have on your shelf for both reference and browsing. I would unheasitatingly recommend this book to anyone with more than a passing interest in these cars. If a thing of beauty is a joy for ever this book will give satisfaction for many years to come!
