About the Author
A graduate of Melbourne University, motoring journalist David Dowsey initially came from a musical background. He has had a genuine and passionate interest in Aston Martins for many years after first coming into contact with the marque through the famous Corgi toys. His profession allows him to sample the latest and greatest motoring products, and as a long-time owner of an Aston Martin he is well-placed to present this comprehensive study of a vital period in the brand's history. This is his first book for The Images Publishing Group. A member of the Guild of Motoring Artists and Australian Automotive Artists, English-born Mike Harbar is passionate about cars and drawing them. He has drawn the lot, from AMR-1 to Zagato. Since moving to Australia in 2000 Mike has continued his work as a freelance car artist with thousands of customers worldwide, producing artwork for magazines, car specialists, club events, race teams, corporations and private enthusiasts. More of Mike Harbar's artwork can be viewed at www.car-artist.com.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: gut. Auflage: 01 (1. Oktober 2007). Dieses Buch ist ein Hammer! Selbst ich, der sich schon als Aston-Kenner bezeichnen darf, war völlig verblüfft, welche Sonderfahrzeuge und Einzelanfertigungen Aston Martin neben seinen Serienmodellen für diverse solvente Kunden produzierte, die nie zuvor ein "Normalsterblicher" in irgend welchen Fachblättern oder Sachbüchern gesehen hat. Speziell für einen inzwischen nicht mehr so zahlungskräftigen Herren im fernen Brunei wurden ganze Kleinstserien exklusiv entworfen, speziell gestaltet und gemäß den Wünschen seines Auftraggebers über alle Maßen dekadent ausgerüstet. Wer wüsste, dass es vom Doppelkompressor-Vantage ein viertürige Limousine gab? Wobei dies noch eine der kleineren Überraschungen darstellt. Es gibt weitere, bei denen man nur den Kopf schüttelt. Dieses in jeder Bedeutung des Wortes grandioses Buch zeigt sie ALLE! Tolle Bilder, prima Layout und kompetente Texte lassen hinter die Kulissen eines ganz speziellen Zweiges der Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd. und seinem Works Service in Newport Pagnell blicken. Übrigens, der ehemals solvente Herr aus Brunei stornierte am Endes seines Aston-Sammelwahns eine Bestellung über drei ganz spezielle Coupés. Weil diese aber nur für Brunei gedacht waren und wegen ihrer geringen Stückzahl ein europäisches Zulassungverfahren keinen Sinn machte, wurden die drei aus Aluminum handgefertigen Karosserien . verschrottet! Die ganze Geschichte dazu gibt es in diesem großartigen Werk des australischen Motorjournalisten David Dowsey (nicht "Dowsie!), dessen einziger naturgegebener Nachteil für den deutschen Aston-Martin-Enthusiast die verwendete Sprache ist. Wer aber des Englischen halbwegs mächtig ist, wird aus dem Staunen über die Launen der Reichen nicht herauskommen! Aston Martin: Power, Beauty and Soul, uncovers the stories behind some of the world's most desirable motor cars.
