The Great Britain-based brand is a notable maker of luxury sports cars, and has been heavily featured in various forms of media throughout the years. Pop culture is a great reflection of the big players of the times, and Aston Martin’s heavy presence in popular entertainment is a good reflector of their impact on the automotive landscape.
Back in August we helped to spread the news about the fact that a vehicle that many consider to be “the most famous car in the world” was going up for sale.
