As you may be aware, we are currently
producing a major, large format photographic book to celebrate our 25th
anniversary which coincided with Aston Martin’s centenary last year.
We are working with world class photographer Tim Wallace to produce the book.
Tim’s work is published globally and he is renowned as one of the UK's
most creative commercial photographers. Awards include International
Commercial Advertising Photographer of the Year and UK Motor Industry
Car Photographer of the Year.
Our aim is to present every iconic Aston Martin ever made in a beautiful “coffee table” title, featuring Tim’s stunning imagery.
The book covers the very earliest Aston Martin cars, all of the David
Brown era and on to the most recent decades of design and development. More...
With interest rates hovering at around 0.5
per cent, there’s very little point in keeping cash in the bank at the
moment. It’s no surprise that savvy investors are opting to sink their
hard earned money into alternatives at the moment, including classic
cars.
The theory is that you can buy the car, drive it and enjoy it, then sell
it years later at a profit. Certain classic cars are now generating
considerably more profit than placing your money in the bank. A report
from Coutts saw values of some classic cars rise by an astonishing 257
per cent between 2005 and 2013. More...
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Aston
Workshop we collaborated with esteemed artist Kevin Day earlier this
year. Kevin's work is described as "figurative narrative" and he is
renowned for capturing the mood of the moment. We believe Kevin's unique
style adds a whole new dimension to the world of Aston Martin art.
We are thrilled to announce another 5 limited edition prints have been released and are available to buy via AstonArt
In total Kevin will produce 15 paintings and sketches for this series
and all of the originals are set to feature in a exhibition at AW later
this year (details to follow). They will include classic and modern
models from the early pre-war cars through to the famous DB4, DB5, &
DB6 and onto the modern super-car era. More...

National Classic Car Day at Aston Workshop and Beamish Morgan
Did you drive your classic car to work on Friday 4th April?
National Classic Car Day is the latest charity event which was proposed
by Radio 2 presenter, Chris Evans. Launched on a whim during his
breakfast radio show on 24 March 2014, the idea is that anyone who owns a
classic car should fire it up for the commute to work, offering friends
and colleagues a lift into the bargain – as long as they make a
donation to the BBC Children in Need charity.
We thought it would be a good idea to support the campaign by offering
those who are retired (or simply don't have a workplace) a
'destination'.
We’d like to thank everyone that came to AW in their classic cars and
made a donation, it was a fantastic day for such a worthy cause and we
look forward to next year!
