Spectacular Seven Aston Martins to Grace London Classic

February 17, 2016 Staff Aston Martin, Classic Cars, Highlights Comments Off on Spectacular Seven Aston Martins to Grace London Classic

Aston Martin enthusiasts are in for a treat this Thursday, when West London official Heritage Specialists Nicholas Mee & Co. reveal their line-up of cars at the London Classic Car Show, the innovative ‘must-do’ event held at ExCel, London, from 18 to 21 February. Once again placed in its prominent, ‘pole’ position close to the main entrance, the company’s impressive stand will showcase a selection of carefully chosen Aston Martins, the Spectacular Seven.

Aston Martin V8 Vantage X-Pack

The Spectacular Seven include …

  1. 1989 Aston Martin AMR1 Group C car. Finished in iconic factory Mobil 1 livery, this 740bhp, 217mph Le Mans car is the last, lightest and most powerful of only four cars built.
  2. 1961 Aston Martin DB4 Series 2. A restored DB4 in its fabulous original colour scheme of green with Off-White hide interior and interesting period provenance.
  3. 1988 Aston Martin V8 Vantage ‘X Pack’. A model very much in collectors’ sights right now, this genuine ‘X Pack’ is in fantastic condition following sympathetic refurbishment.
  4. 2004 Aston Martin DB7 Zagato. A stunning, low-mileage example of the limited-production, Anglo-Italian coupé.
  5. 1991 Aston Martin Virage. Arguably the finest in the world, this all-black coupé is to the ultimate specification and has covered just 6500 miles from new.
  6. 1995 Aston Martin Virage Volante ‘Works Special’. One of only three cars produced with this elegant and dramatic bespoke coachwork, and just 10,000 miles from new.
  7. 1986 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Zagato. A low-mileage coupé in exceptional condition. Its ‘X Pack’ engine produces 430bhp – enough for 186mph.

Aston Martin DB4 Series II

Managing Director Nicholas Mee looks forward to when the show opens at three o’clock on Thursday, 18 February:

We are delighted to be exhibiting at the London Classic Car Show this year. In 2015 we, like most attendees, were stunned by the success of the event in only its first year. The organisers ensured the show ran like clockwork, while the range and calibre of fellow exhibitors, celebrity visitors, the innovative live action Grand Avenue, and well-researched and presented special features truly made it a ‘must’ for any UK classic car enthusiast.

Following a great deal of hard work by our team of experts over the winter, we have secured what we believe will be a show-topping selection of seven Aston Martins, each representing different milestones of production – the Spectacular Seven.

We look forward to greeting both existing and new clients at the show, which promises non-stop action and certainly something for everyone to enjoy, right up until the event finishes at five o’clock on Sunday afternoon.

One of Aston Martin’s most iconic models – the  DB4 G.T. – is to be celebrated with a special series of 25 track-only continuation cars built to lightweight specification by Aston Martin Works at Newport Pagnell. Launched in 1959, the DB4 G.T. was immediately celebrated as one of the rarest and most revered of all Aston Martins. Evolved from the production DB4 and introduced in the same year Aston Martin scored its historic outright win in the Le Mans 24 Hours, the DB4 G.T. was a true supercar of its day. Shorter, lighter, sleeker and with a more powerful version of the legendary 3.7-litre straight-six engine, not only was the DB4 G.T. Britain’s fastest passenger sports car, it was a born winner, scoring a debut race victory at Silverstone in the hands of Sir Stirling Moss. A total of 75 […]

Aston Martin Engine Development – Book Review

December 31, 2015 Michael Carnell Aston Martin, Classic Cars, Highlights, Library Comments Off on Aston Martin Engine Development – Book Review

Arthur George Wilson joined Aston Martin in the early part of 1959. In a career spanning over 40 years, he took up the post of AML Head of Engines in 1984 where he stayed until his retirement in 2000. He developed the 580X Vantage Aston Martin engine, the 32 valve engine and designed and developed the twin supercharged 32 valve Vantage engine, and the engine for the normally aspirated V8 Coupe. Wilson has written Aston Martin Engine Development which will be a must-have for all Aston Martin owners. Reading this book is roughly akin to being told a story by a new friend while poking around in the garage. You know what happens, you are looking at cars and maybe diagnosing a fault as you talk about dogs or the weather or how you came to acquire this car, when all of […]
