Aston Martin (1915 to Present)

Founded in 1913, Aston Martin has spent over a century as the definitive British marque for "Power, Beauty, and Soul," balancing high-performance engineering with artisan luxury. Its lineage includes global icons like the DB5, the DB7 (which saved the company in the 1990s), and the Vanquish, alongside ultra-limited masterpieces like the DB4 GT Zagato and the One-77. In the 2026 Australian market, Aston Martin occupies a prestigious tier of the luxury segment, with its buyer pool consisting of high-net-worth "gentleman racers," collectors, and an increasing number of lifestyle-oriented buyers drawn to the DBX SUV. Market desirability remains exceptionally high for V12-powered flagship models and heritage "DB" cars, which are viewed as blue-chip investments. Current Australian values reflect this elite positioning: while modern entries like the Vantage range from $290,000 to $410,000 AUD, the new 2026 Vanquish V12 sits at approximately $737,000 AUD (plus on-roads). For the classic collector, the DB5 remains the ultimate prize, with pristine, RHD Australian-delivered examples frequently commanding between $1.1M and $1.8M AUD at specialized auctions.
