Aston Martin car - photo wallpapers; Megawallpapers.org: Aston Martin Lagonda Limited is a manufacturer of luxury performance cars, whose headquarters are at Gaydon, Warwickshire , England. The company name is derived from the Aston Clinton hill climb and one of the company's founders, Lionel Martin. Since 1994 Aston Martin has been part of the Premier Automative Group, a division of the Ford Motor Company. However, Ford put the company up for sale in August 2006. Rumours that the sale was completed to French luxury-goods conglomorate LVMH in February of the following year have been denied. Aston Martin was founded in 1913 by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford. [br]The two had joined forces as Bamford & Martin the previous year to [br]sell cars made by Singer from premises in Callow Street, London where they also serviced GWK and Calthorpe vehicles. Martin raced specials 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. They acquired premises at Henniker Place in Kensington and produced their first car in March 1915. Production could not start because of World War I, and Martin joined the Admiralty and Bamford the Royal Army Service Corps. All machinery was sold to the Sopwith Aviation Company.[br]
