On the opening day of our show, we will focus on perhaps the most evocative British brand of all: Aston Martin, with a special celebration of the automotive king of cool.

A name long associated with a certain Commander Bond and a Silver Birch DB5, we’ll expand the scope of this display, assembling a comprehensive range of characterful – and totally British – machines, charting the full sweep of Aston’s long, rich history.

You can explore everything from the early Feltham built cars forged in the post war years, to the iconic DB cars from the 1960s – the DB4, 5 and 6. We’ll also shine a spotlight on the muscular, sharply styled V8 machines from the ‘70s, ’80s and early ‘90s – hand-built masterpieces that hark back to a different time of British coachbuilding. We’ll then also feature Newport Pagnell creations from the past 25 years, cars that combined sublime styling, towering 21^st century performance, whilst retaining a dash of raffish British charm. We’ll of course also find room for those special Astons honed by the stylists at Zagato in Milan, an enduring Anglo-Italian automotive relationship that has continued to bear fruit over 60 plus years, producing some of the most coveted shapes of all.

These cars will complement the main concours cars at our event, lending our opening day a glamourous, distinctly British feel. It’s one fans of Aston certainly won’t want to miss.
