Gallery: Aston Martin Centenary

It's a century since Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford founded Aston Martin. The British manufacturer decided to celebrate in style by gathering a huge array of Aston Martin models new and old for a birthday party in Kensington Palace Gardens, West London - complete with rare cars, picnic hampers and champage.

The beginning

Aston Martin was founded in 1913 by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford. Both were keen hill climb racers and so they elected to create a car of their own, which they christened 'Coal Scuttle' and is not pictured here. The oldest surviving Aston Martin is the A3, pictured on the left next to 'Razor Blade' - a slim bodied Grand Prix racer.
