Aston Martin's British Summer Festival

The Aston Martin Heritage Festival comes to the British Motor Museum on 31 August, thanks to organiser, The Aston Martin Heritage Trust. By Sat Bal

It's the second consecutive year of the event invite which welcomes all Aston Martin owners, irrespective of car age or model.  This year, the festival will be celebrating several special anniversaries:  30 years of the DB7, lauded as “the car that saved Aston Martin”; 90 years of the Ulster and MkII models which were known for their exceptional engineering and technical prowess; plus 60 years of Goldfinger  - the DB5!  Organisers are appealing to anyone with these models to bring them along to the event!

The Trust will also be bringing a number of rare Aston Martin cars to the event including a 1934 Ulster, a DB7 i6 prototype and a DB7 Zagato.

Once again, parking will be set out by era, so visitors can expect to be wowed by a display of cars. There will be a stage and live screen featuring a full programme of presentations and interview’s capturing all the action.  In addition, there will be a number of traders, worth a visit for any car enthusiast or Aston Martin fan.

Tom Caren, Show Manager at the British Motor Museum, said,  “The ultimate celebration of Aston Martin is back for a second year! You won’t often get the chance to see such a vast collection of Aston Martins in one place, so whether you’re coming to join in with the display or simply to admire the cars, there’s something for you at the Aston Martin Heritage Festival. All models are welcome, we would love to see you and share the history and stories of one of the great British motoring iconic marques!”
