Aston Martin

 

 

 

This UK based prestige car manufacturer is based in the UK, but owned by US giant Ford. The company was formed in 1913 by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford and based in Kensington. The company was called Bamford and Martin until 1926 when it was renamed the more familiar Aston Martin. The company was often in a perilous financial situation despite the backing and financial input of many aristocratic names. In 1947 it was bought by David Brown and stayed with Sir David Brown Ltd until 1972 when it was sold along with Lagonda which they also owned. The famous DB series of cars came from David Brown's initials. The series was revived under Ford.

Many regard Aston Martin as the epitomy of the luxury sports car and this reputation has been enhanced over many years by appearances in TV and film, most notably in the James Bond series. The high prices of Aston Martin's and their performance leads to them having a very high insurance group.

Below are the insurance groups for some popular models. Note: Many insurers do not use the standard insurance groups quoted by the ABI (Association of British Insurers). The following insurance groups are for advisory purposes only, we cannot confirm that they are correct.
