The 'A' Team...
After many months of negotiation and a massive investment by
Aston Workshop, we are pleased to announce the award of
'Category A' crash repairer status from Aston Martin.
This new 'Category A' status means that we are now approved by
Aston Martin to carry out any level of repair on any Aston
Martin model. Most repairs can already be undertaken, with
the remainder being available once the last few pieces of
equipment have been installed.
If you should find yourself in the unfortunate position of
requiring a first class crash repair or if you simply want
to restore your cars appearance to its former glory, we will
be only too pleased to help. In fact, for any level of repair
to any Aston Martin, please contact our workshop manager for
friendly advice.

Back to life with Aston Workshop...
The cars we sell at Aston Workshop come from many
different sources and all over the globe, and without
exception they are given a thorough examination on
arrival. This allows us to assess any work that may
be needed to make the car presentable and to decide
the best way forward in terms of a sales strategy.
Sometimes, as with the car we have here, the condition
is such that a full restoration is deemed necessary
to bring the car back to its former glory.
This absolutely stunning DB4 Series V offers a very
rare opportunity to purchase what is surely one of
the finest 'Series V' available...

Every item for every Aston Martin - All in one place for Aston owners!
We have recently undertaken the mammoth task of listing
every factory part for every Aston Martin on our
website.
To give you some idea of just how monumental this is, we
had a not insubstantial 2,800 parts listed prior to the
exercise and we now have an astonishing 50,000 plus
available to those with an Aston Martin parts catalogue!
To continue with our policy of making the browsing and
buying experience as easy as possible, most of these
items will remain hidden from view until searched for
by factory part number. It is also presumed that those
with a catalogue will know exactly what the part is
they are searching for and so most listings will not
have an image attached.
Our plan is to make it easier than ever to buy ANY part
for your cherished Aston and by introducing this 'online
catalogue' service we hope you will be able to do just that.
The listings are already in place and although there is
some fine-tuning to be done, most can be searched and
ordered with immediate effect: www.astonparts.com.

Last of the great V8 engineers...
Aston Workshop are of course world famous for the work we do on classic
Aston Martins, especially the DB models of the 50s and 60s, but what many
don't realise is that we employ one of the last great engine builders to
have worked for Aston Martin, Mr. Mick Durrant.
Mick is believed to be the last of the Aston Martin engine builders
(famous for placing a name plate on each engine they built) still
building and repairing engines full time. Although Mick can turn
his highly skilled technique to any Aston Martin engine, his specialist
area is that of the great V8s of the 1970s.
This means that Aston Workshop is probably the only place you can go
to have one of the original Aston Martin V8 engine builders work on
your engine.
We will be launching a website in the near future dedicated to the
myriad of engine services that we offer here at Aston Workshop.
However, anyone wishing to enquire about these services, and the
V8 work of Mick Durrant in particular, can do so now by contacting
our Workshop Manager, John Gray:

Revival Return...
After attending successful classic events at Essen,
Blenheim Palace, Donington and Croft in 2011, we are
very much looking forward to returning to the Goodwood
Revival this year.
The revival was the highlight of the year in 2010 and
the first time Aston Workshop had attended the event.
This year promises to be even more exciting as we are
planning to have an even greater presence, with more
cars on display and more advisors to talk through
the needs of potential clients.
If you're planning to be there, why not come and have
a chat with the team?
16, 17 18 September - Our
stand is number 247-250.
A New chapter for Ron's DB2/4 MKIII
When Ron Powell asked Aston Workshop if it would be
possible to produce a hardback book featuring the
restoration of his beloved MKIII, we were only too
happy to oblige.
Using Clive Dickinson's extensive knowledge of
graphic design and printing and the words of
Quentin Parker, Aston Workshop have put together
a fantastic record of the complete restoration
process which also features the superb photography
of Tim Wallace.

Mr. Tomkins - Volvo P1800
Ever since I was a kid I have always wanted to own
a Volvo P1800. I remember the first time I saw one
was in the 1960's series "The Saint" starring Roger
Moore. The car is so unlike all of the other Volvo's
produced over the years - it is an absolutely
stunning design.
