Great Cars: The Television Series S03 E04 Aston Martin

"From past to present, come hit the road with Great Cars!"

No one would have predicted that tractor manufacturer David Brown could transform a bankrupt Aston into a car line that was universally praised as being, "pleasing to the eye, beautifully finished and comfortable with all the performance anyone could want." His cars became racing legends - challenging Ferraris on the track in the 1950's and ferrying the upper crust around town.
