The Aston Martin Heritage Trust was established in 1998 by the Aston Martin Owners Club partly to provide a safe haven for its heritage collection of assets and partly to create an organisation dedicated solely to preserving and enhancing the history of Aston Martin. The Trust has since very significantly enhanced the collection as well as building up a programme of activities designed to further the Objects of the Trust which are:
The advancement of education by the making available for study and research of material of all types relating to the automotive engineering and automotive designs of Aston Martin, Lagonda and Aston Martin Lagonda motor cars for the benefit of the public including making available for study and research reports, documents, drawings, artefacts and any other material relating to or associated with the Marque including the history of the companies, products and personalities associated with the Marque.
