The first car bearing the Aston Martin name was produced in 1908. A mechanic and racecar driver, Lionel Martin attached a four-cylinder engine to the chassis of a 1908 Isotta-Fraschini, the company best known for assembling Renaults.
World War I, followed by bankruptcies in 1924 and 1925, interrupted growth and it wasn’t until 1936 that the company decided to focus on the production of road cars. However, under the technical direction and funding of Augustus Bertelli, Aston Martin saw success between 1926 and 1937 with several race-ready cars, including the popular Le Mans model.
It wasn’t until Sir David Brown bought the company in 1947 that the company began to have any success in the commercial market. Producing a vehicle which bore his initials, the DB inspired a family of 9 vehicles over the next twenty years. The DB series was not the first vehicles Aston Martin released, but if you’re looking for an original model Aston Martin, this is the car you’re looking for.
