Aston Martin Lagonda Limited is a British manufacturer of luxury sports cars and GT cars. It was founded in 1913 by Lionel Martin (1878-1945) and Robert Bamford (1883-1942). Martin raced at Aston Hill near Aston Clinton, and the pair decided to make their own vehicles. The first car to be named Aston Martin was created by Martin by fitting a four-cylinder Coventry-Simplex engine to the chassis of a 1908 Isotta-Fraschini, which is the italian manufacturer of most luxurious and prestigious cars ever built. They produced their first car in March 1915. From 1947 to 1972, tractor manufacturer David Brown Limited, was leading Aston Martin, under the leadership of managing director Sir David Brown (1904-1993). The company also acquired 1947, british manufacturer of luxury cars founded 1906, named Lagonda, for its 2.6-litre Bentley-designed engine. Both companies shared resources and workshops, birthing the classic "DB" (David Brown) series of cars. The company became associated with luxury GT cars in the 1950s and 1960s, and with the fictional character James Bond, following his use of a DB5 model in the 1964 film Goldfinger. The Aston Martin company was often financially troubled. In 1972, the firm was sold to Company Developments, a Birmingham-based consortium chaired by William Wilson, who was the chairman of Aston Martin from 1972-1975.
