Since the start of the Sports car racing season is only a few days away, I've decided to stay with race cars and revise the N24 prototype page and the N24 page.

New pages getting ready for the 2008 motor racing season. First pictures of the GT2 spec V8 Vantage and the AMR engined Lola LMP1 closed prototype

New pictures of the V8 Vantage N400 at the Geneva Salon, March 2008

New pages featuring the revised DB9 coupe and DB9 Volante

Since we appear to be having something of an '80s revival now is obviously the time to revise the page covering that essential '80s AM, the V8 Vantage Volante

AstonMartins.com 10th Birthday

Happy New Year

A real treat for 2008 - pictures of prototypes of the original Vanquish. I have sat on these pictures for a few years now but I'm sure that with the passing of the Newport Pagnell and Vanquish production, it's acceptable to now share these with you.

New pages featuring the Bertone bodied DB2/4's commissioned by Stanley H 'Wacky' Arnolt, as photographed at Pebble Beach, 2007 - DB2/4 Drophead coupe by Bertone, DB2/4 Spider by Bertone,DB2/4 Berlinetta by Bertone

I've been fortunate to have spent a week in Monterey, CA this August for Pebble Beach, Historic Races and other events. Just wanted to give my thanks to everyone that I met, especially American AMOC members who have been very supportive of my work and this web site. I cannot wait to return.

Revised page on the DB7 Zagato prototype with new pictures of the wooden styling buck

Just arrived back from all the events in and around Monterey, California with 1000's of pictures which will take weeks to go through. First new page covers the new DBS unveiled at Pebble Beach on the 16th August.

A couple of new pictures of the V8 Volante added

David Dowsey's long awaited book on Aston Martin covering the 'Ford years' is available now. I'm awaiting my copy very soon to be delivered by Amazon. I have now been sent many more of the wonderful illustrations by Mike Habar that have been used in the book so that these can be shared with you. Works Service special projects

New page featuring the DBSZ concept

Tided up the links section and removed dead links.

Due to having a bit of an accident, I've got some time off work thus can spend a little more time working on my website. So here is another much revised page featuring the 'short chassis' V8 Vantage Volante Special Edition. I now have pictures of five of the eight cars. New pictures of the Fire Red V8 Vantage Roadster from this years Geneva Salon. Also revised the prototype DP2055 supercharged Vantage page with a picture of the crash test car.

I have heavily revised the page on the Bulldog. I wonder that 27 years after it's launch, the car still holds incredible interest and this page is constantly one of the most visited pages

A new page with some rare pictures I took 7 years ago but have had to sit on for a few years. This page features pictures of prototype DB7 Vantages in storage and awaiting destruction shortly after the production car was introduced. Also a very devised page covering the rare and highly desirable V8 Lagonda including 12008, the lost chassis. This page features pictures of seven of the eight cars built.

A brief preview of the 75th Le Mans 24 hour race

A few more 007 DBS pictures recently released by AM

I bet your thinking that I have added lots of pages this week. Well I've had to spend lots of time at my work in the evenings whilst we have had renovations. So the best way to spend my enforced seclusion is to write more pages for the site. So tonight I give you the following new or revised pages - Virage Volante with V8 Volante front styling, V8 Lagonda series 1, V8 Lagonda series 2, Tickford Lagonda Limousine, Atom, Virage Volante 6.3 with Vantage styling, V8 Volante Weber f.i., V8 Volante to Vantage spec

More new or revised pre-war pages, this time the Ulster 2/4 seater, International Le Mans, LM7 pictures, 2 litre Speed Model Monoposto, International Fixed Head Coupe (Headlam)

Revised page on the DB4 Vantage, DBGT Special, DB7 Zagato Prototype, DB7 Zagato

Now this website receives lots of hits but some parts are far more popular than others. Despite all the hard work I put into the section covering PreWar Astons, it's the least popular section. This is a real shame as the first Astons are really terribly interesting and they set a standard still followed by the company today. Anyway, I have added and revised many pages in the pre-war section recently with new pictures and everything including...... Razor Blade, T-type tourer, B&M side valves, (second series) Le Mans

New page featuring the Aston Martin Racing V8 Vantage Rally GT. Another new page featuring the DB7 Driving Dynamics Volante

Have you ever seen a Virage like this before? Well nether had I until I was sent this picture over a week ago. It's one example of many special and secret cars built by Works Service in the 1990's for a wealthy customer in South East Asia. Full details of these cars will feature in a new book due for publication in late 2006 and written by a friend of mine called David Dowsey.

David has very kindly allowed me to share just a few of the secrets of his book, Aston Martin - Power, Beauty, Soul on this website.

For the first time, I have been able to list and categorise a whole collection of special bodied cars that AM themselves have never officially described or promoted. I can only give brief details at this stage and the pictures just show a blanked outline, but you will get the idea.

And if you want to comment on these pages, I'd love to hear from you.

And now here is an opportunity to purchase a very nice photographic print of an Aston Martin. This image of a DB9 was taken by Charlie Magee at the Gaydon factory during the late summer of 2003 for CAR magazine here in the UK. You can purchase copies of this in sizes from A3 upto A0, which can be supplied worldwide. Immediart.com have loads of other images from CAR as well as many other subjects. Click on the image for more information.

Depending on demand for this print, perhaps later this year, I may make a limited number of my images available in the same way as it has been impossible for me to print and distribute them myself.

Just got pages ready for the Bertone Jet 2 and more on the Vanquish Roadster by Zagato. Just added a new page on the Vanquish convertible by Newport Convertible Engineering.

Going to Geneva on Wednesday 10th March and I'll add my new pictures then.
