Icons of the Road
Celebrating the best in British manufactured motors
Land Rover Defender
The iconic Land Rover Defender has recently been revitalised and revised for the 21st century, but as a model line, its origins date all the way back the 1940s, and the very earliest Land Rovers.
At its core, the latest Defender is still the tough, go-anywhere off-roader that Land Rover imagined in 1947 when it introduced a vehicle that would later be known as the ‘Series I’. But the latest Defender brings modern technology and powertrains to the line-up for the first time.
Mclaren
In 1964 Bruce Mclaren, and his small team built the first true McLaren sports car – the M1A – which became a top contender in sports car racing both in Europe and America. After proving its credentials, the orders rolled in and 24 examples were built. Today, McLaren Group is a global name in cars and racing, comprised of three main branches: McLaren Racing, McLaren Automotive, and McLaren Applied.
Rolls-Royce
One of the most revered and historic name in the history of luxury and automotive endeavour grew from the electrical and mechanical business established by Henry Royce in 1884. Royce built his first motor car in 1904 and in May of that year met Charles Rolls, whose company sold quality cars in London.
Through the years Rolls-Royce has always sought names that are otherworldly for its most authoritative and powerful cars. Eery names like Ghost, Phantom, Wraith, Shadow and Spirit have, over the years, developed a unique nomenclature that sets Rolls-Royce models apart. The celebrated British brand is imminently about to introduce its first electric car - Spectre.
Aston Martin
Ever since the first Aston Martin was crafted more than one hundred years ago, the brand has had a talent for creating beautiful. Founded by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford in 1913 in a small London workshop, Aston Martin has since grown to become an internationally admired luxury brand.
From the brand’s humble origins to today, on road and track the irresistible draw of an Aston Martin endures. People all over the world seek their beautifully designed cars; cars that have always been synonymous with high performance, bespoke craftsmanship, technological innovation and timeless style.
