Vai kāds zin kā radies Aston Martin nosaukums?
Vai tiešām pateicoties tā dibinātāja panākumiem Aston Hill kalnā kāpšanas sacensībās + viņa uzvārds?

Nu ĻOTI gribas zināt.
Paldies!

Citāts:

The two men where Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford. They started out selling Singer automobiles. They were both handy mechanics and Lionel was an accomplished driver. He was often seen racing at the near by Aston Hill Hillclimb races near Aston Clinton. In 1914 the two decided to start to build there own vehicles and Aston Martin was born.

The name came from the combination of "Aston" from the hillclimb races and Lionel Martin's last name. I could never find out how or why Bamford's name was not involved, I envision a nagging wife that didn't want to have the tax collector come pocking around the household finances, but I somehow think that Martin-Bamford's would have had the legacy that Aston Martin now enjoys.
