100 years. That's how long Aston Martin has been in existence. It's certainly had its fair share of ups and downs over the decades, but today the automaker has a state-of-the-art factory in Gaydon, a highly successful racing team, and some of the most beautiful road cars in the world. In this latest episode of the Drive Channel's Driven series, we're taken on a tour of Aston Martin old and new. Along with the new factory, there's also a technical center that's solely devoted to the upkeep of old AMs.
Owners from all parts of the globe send their cars here for anything from basic repairs by a certified technician, to an automatic-to-manual gearbox conversion and even a right-hand to left-hand drive switcheroo. And it's this type of brand devotion that will keep Aston Martin alive for decades to come.
