	Welcome to Ecurie Bertelli
		Lionel Martin was a keen sporting cyclist and motorist, and by the end of 1914 the first prototype sports car was being developed using experience gained from tuning and modifying Singers and an old Isotta Fraschini, which was used as a mobile test bed for a newly designed engine.
		Lionel Martin's wife, Kate, had the idea that a name for the new car beginning with the letter 'A' would mean that it would feature at the top of the list of runners in the programme at competitions, and it was hoped that this would assist with promoting the new car.
		The name Aston Martin was decided, being partly derived from Aston Hill, a hillclimb venue close to Aston Clinton in Buckinghamshire.

	Back on Track
		Lionel Martin had begun by selling and servicing Singers from a garage in Chelsea in 1912, but when he built a car of his own he linked his surname with that of a famous hillclimb, Aston Hill near Aylesbury, to form ‘Aston Martin’.
		But Martin spent so much time and money on motor sport that he neglected the road cars that were supposed to pay Aston Martin’s bills — and the company went bust in 1924.
		The win left Aston Martin in a good position in the World Sports Car Championship, and despite managing to set their pit buildings on fire during a re-fuelling stop, they won the Tourist Trophy at Goodwood to take the Championship from Ferrari and Porsche.

	The Ultimate History of Aston Martin by Andrew Noakes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		On the track Aston Martin has been a considerable success, winning the Biennial Cup at Le Mans and the Team Prize in the Ulster TT in the 1930s, and then becoming a force in sports car racing in the 1950s.
		Ultimately, under the control of David Brown, Aston Martin proved victorious at Le Mans in 1959 and went on to win the World Championship for sports cars that year.
		More recently control of the company has passed to the giant Ford Motor Company, and Aston Martin has gone from a tiny company building mere handfuls of cars to a significant player in the upper echelons of the sports car industry.

		"Heritage," avers Aston Martin Chairman and CEO Dr Ulrich Bez, "is history with a future." And indeed there can be few makes with more motor sport heritage than Aston Martin, whose very name celebrates the competition success of its founder Lionel Martin.
		The Aston Martin went into motor sport, as it were, straight from the womb, for when back in 1966 I interviewed Frank Hunt, who in 1915 had helped build the very first Aston Martin of all — the unkindly-nicknamed "Coal Scuttle", he recalled working long hours readying it to compete in the London-Edinburgh Trial.
		His role in harrying the rival Ferraris and encouraging their drivers to overstretch their powertrains to the breaking point in the early stages of the race was a crucial factor in the Aston strategy.

		Named after founder Lionel Martin and a famous piece of English real estate called Aston Hill, Aston Martin had a rather uncertain beginning in 1914.
		In fact, it would be difficult to refer to Aston Martin as an automaker at all until the early 1920s, by which time Martin had lost controlling interest and been demoted to technical engineer by his investors.
		Under Bertelli’s stewardship Aston Martin rose to prominence in motor racing by the early 1930s, recording a first in the 1931 Brooklands JCC Double-Twelve, a second in the 1931 Tourist Trophy, and a fifth at Le Mans in 1931, 1932, and 1933.
