Aston Martin began life in 1913 in Gaydon England. The company name comes from a combination of one of the founders, Lionel Martin and the Aston Hill speed hillclimb.  These luxury performance cars were made famous by the silver screen. The DB5 made its screen debut in 1964 on the set of Goldfinger. Over the years the James Bond franchise has used few cars other than the Aston Martin, even the new release, Quantum of Solace, will highlight the new DB5 Aston Martin.
