Aston Martin spare parts
After Singer dealer Lionel Martin won the Aston Hill Climb race in May 1914 driving a specially modified racing car, the direction was clear. He wanted to produce better and faster racing sports cars for the road. This was done from 1920 onwards in small numbers and under frequently changing owners. The cars of the 1930s were accordingly named after the races they had won. After the war, tractor and transmission manufacturer David Brown took over the company. After a thorough inventory, it was clear that a new engine had become necessary. A suitable six-cylinder engine, designed by Walter Bentley, was found at the manufacturer Lagonda, which Brown was also able to acquire. With this engine, Aston Martin experienced a flight of fancy in the 1950s and 60s. The powerful engine in harmonious sporty cars sold well throughout David Brown's era. In 1973 David Brown had to sell the company. The DB abbreviation disappeared from the model designations, a new V8 engine and the model designated as AM V8 heralded a long period of stagnation. From 1987 Ford became involved with Aston Martin. The new Virage appeared and held the position until the release of Aston Martin's first new DB model under Ford's aegis, the DB7. In 2007, Ford sold the company to a group of investors who have successfully taken Aston Martin to the stock market in recent years.

DB2, DB2/4 and DB Mark III (1950-1959)
The 2-litre sports car sold by Aston Martin from 1948 to 1950 was
mounted on a tubular frame designed by Claude Hill. Unfortunately, this
car, subsequently called the DB1, proved not to be fast enough in
competition. The remedy was the DB2 model, which combined the familiar
frame with the Lagonda six-cylinder with a body designed by Frank Feeley.

DB4, DB5 and DB6 (1958-1970)
The Aston Martin DB4 was built at Newport Pagnell from 1958 to 1963 in 1204 examples. The design of the car had changed. The new model had a platform frame with very light bodywork and an in-line six-cylinder engine completely redesigned by Tadek Marek, producing 240 bhp and displacing 3670 cc.
DBS and DBS V8 (1967-1972)
The Aston Martin DBS is the successor to the DB6. When the DB6 was to be replaced in 1966, Touring in Milan made some proposals, but they did not get the approval of David Brown. One of the in-house designers, William Towns, drew the design of the DBS according to the prevailing taste of the time.
AMV8, V8 Vantage and V8 Volante (1972-1989)
When Aston Martin came into the ownership of William Willson in early 1972, the field was actually well prepared. The large GT was available with two modern engines from Tadek Marek. The in-line six-cylinder engine was discontinued in 1973.
DB7 (1994-2003)
The Aston Martin DB7, the model's nomenclature again explicitly referring to former owner David Brown, is based on the Jaguar XJS floorpan and uses the AJ6 engine that Jaguar developed in the early 1990s.
DB9 (2004-2016)
The DB9 was a supercar above the Vantage series. Only the upmarket series were designated with the model designation DB, for the owner David Brown, who shaped the company's history.
Vantage (2005-2017)
The Aston Martin Vantage was introduced in 2005 and was Henrik Fisker's final design work for Aston Martin. The model was intended to complete the lower end of the Aston Martin model range and be an offering on par with the Porsche 911 and Ferrari 430.
