Martin developed an engine with the same cylinder capacity especially for Zborowski, but with 16 valves (4 per cylinder). It was in a car of this type that Zborowski took part in the Strasbourg G.P. in 1922.

With the death of Zborowski on the track at Monza in 1924, Aston-Martin entered a new crisis. On this occasion it was saved by another foreigner, an Italian, Augusto Cesare Bertelli, who struck lucky on the race-track. In the early 1930s it was taken over by R. G. Sutherland. The fifth owner was David Brown, and his arrival (1947) recorded by the addition of his initials to the firm’s name. In 1976 a Canadian-American consortium bought the company. The models reproduced here, though similar both in looks and mechanically, are historically important in that they were the first the company built, in the full sense of the word, in its early pioneering days. After 1927 it used 4-cylinder engines with overhead valves and removable heads
