Aston Martin Atom prototype
This 1940 prototype was the brainchild of Gordon Sutherland - Aston Martin proprietor from 1933 - 1947 - and is the actual car that persuaded industrialist David Brown to buy the company in 1947. As well as inspiring Brown's ownership, the Atom paved the way for the DB1 and DB2/4 Series with many of its mechanicals being used in both cars. It has also covered 250,000 miles, with half of those covered with Sutherland at the wheel.
