The history of British auto manufacturing can be traced alongside the history of the Aston Martin line of products. This prolific motor company began in 1913 as a producer of racing cars and novelties run by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford. The period between the beginning of World War I and the end of World War II featured a number of changes including a fundamental change in design philosophy.
The use of the V4 engine in earlier models gave way to the use of V6, V8 and V12 models placed within the same sporty frame that has defined Aston Martin for years. The company's experience as an aircraft parts manufacturer in the Second World War has led to a better body design that prevents drag and wasted fuel. Customization options are a relatively new part of the company's offering to customers but a driver can adjust about anything on their new car with the help of their dealer.
