Aston Martin puts on a show for the Lord Mayor

As part of Aston Martin’s Centenary celebrations, they’ve rolled out a selection of Aston Martin models for the annual Lord Mayor’s Show in London.

The weather on Saturday was wet and miserable, but that didn’t stop the annual Lord Mayor’s Show in London going ahead, complete with a selection of Aston Martin’s finest.

The Lord Mayor’s Show happens on the second Saturday in November every year, and has for 477 years followed the same route  – even throughout World Wars – as the City of London celebrates the inauguration of a new Lord Mayor.

This year Aston Martin was asked to take part by the The Worshipful Company of Coachmakers and Coach Harness Makers of London – an apt invite for Aston’s centenary year – and Aston Martin responded with a decent turnout of models.

The headline car was undoubtedly the Vanquish Coupe all wrapped in the GREAT Britain campaign livery, but Aston also had the new Vanquish Volante Convertible, a pair of Rapides and the old faithful DB9.

Aston Martin’s Global Brand boss, Janette Green, said:

To see our sports cars taking part in such an historic and famous event as The Lord Mayor’s Show is a special occasion for everyone associated with Aston Martin.

I would like to thank the Worshipful Company for their kind invitation, and hope all those who saw the cars felt a little of the pride that I know we at Gaydon share in being part of this remarkable event.

Nice to see Aston Martin as a part of what Britain does so well – pomp and circumstance in the rain.
