Aston Martin Celebrates 100 Years

January 15, 2013, marks the official incorporation of Aston Martin 100 years ago, and to commemorate the historic occasion the oldest surviving Aston Martin—A3—and a stunning new Vanquish, the brand’s ultimate GT, will take their places at Henniker Mews in Chelsea, the original home of Aston Martin, where a commemorative plaque will be unveiled.

On the evening of January 15, the Aston Martin Heritage Trust Walter Hayes Memorial Lecture will take place in central London, with A3 and Vanquish again guest starring alongside actor Sir John Standing as Lionel Martin, telling the story of his early days and his experience of making the first Aston Martin in Lionel Martin’s own words.
