Aston Martin is celebrating its centenary in style this weekend.

The car maker once owned by Huddersfield industrialist Sir David Brown  has lined up some of its most iconic vehicles for the landmark moment in its history.

The four-wheeled stars of the show will include the Aston Martins used in seven of the James Bond films as well as the oldest surviving vehicle.

Aston Martin was founded in 1913 by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford . Their company later became Aston Martin in recognition of Bamford’s success at the Aston Clinton Hillclimb in Buckinghamshire, where he had successfully raced their very first cars.

Sir David Brown, who also headed David Brown Tractors at Meltham and David Brown Gears in Lockwood, bought Aston Martin and Lagonda Ltd in 1947.

The DB5 – perhaps the most famous Aston Martin, which was driven by Sean Connery as 007 in Goldfinger and Thunderball – went into production in 1963.

Sir David sold the company in 1972 . The businessman died in 1993, aged 89.

Aston Martin’s centenary festivities continue on Sunday (July 21)with a unique celebration in the historic setting of Kensington Gardens, London.

The event, organised by the Aston Martin Owners Club, Aston Martin Heritage Trust and Aston Martin will see an unprecedented gathering of the rarest, most significant and most famous Aston Martins ever made.

Themed displays of cars will tell Aston Martin’s remarkable story on the day – from the firm’s origins in Henniker Mews, Chelsea, to its current global headquarters in Gaydon, Warwickshire.

Every iconic Aston Martin road car will be represented – from the oldest surviving car, the A3 to the latest, the Vanquish Centenary Edition.

Seven of the James Bond movie cars will be on display, including the DB5.

Aston Martin’s motorsport pedigree will also be on display with vehicles such the  DBR1, the legendary DB4 GT Zagato and the DBR9 GT1 car.

The race car display is presented in tribute to racing driver Allan Simonsen, who lost his life at the Le Mans 24 Hours race last month.

Entry to the Kensington Gardens event is free. The event opens from 10am to 5pm.
