Aston Martin
Aston Martin was founded in 1913 in London by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford. The British manufacturer operates its primary headquarters and sports car production facility in Gaydon, Warwickshire, while assembling its SUV line in St Athan, Wales. The company's identity was largely shaped during the tenure of industrialist Sir David Brown - whose initials still designate the "DB" model series - and was cemented globally after the DB5 featured in the 1964 James Bond film Goldfinger.
