Brooklands Museum

ASTON MARTIN HERITAGE FESTIVAL

On August 14th, Brooklands Museum will be welcoming the Aston Martin Heritage Festival, organised by the Aston Martin Heritage Trust to celebrate the rich history and heritage of Aston Martin Lagonda.

There is a lot to celebrate as Aston Martin has a long and diverse history with Brooklands: ■ The pre-war Aston Martin factory in

Feltham was just 10 miles from

Brooklands. ■ All pre-war Aston Martins were roadtested at Brooklands. ■ Aston Martin set ten world records at

Brooklands in 1922, on one day! ■ The fi rst ever motor race Aston Martin took part in was at Brooklands in 1920, and many more cars raced there during the interwar years.

There will be parking by era, special displays, a pop-up AMHT Museum and excellent trade stands, along with the opportunity to explore the museum. An A3, the oldest surviving Aston Martin in the world will be at the event, alongside Green Pea which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year - both of these cars raced at Brooklands! Pre-war Aston Martin car owners will have the opportunity to drive up Test Hill, which will be fantastic.
