Pressbox (Press Release) -
An exclusive ‘Legend’ series is the newest addition to a range of Christmas gifts that Aston Workshop is launching in the lead up to the festive season.
The County Durham based classic Aston Martin specialist always have a large range of Christmas gifts to appeal to any owner or enthusiast and this year’s selection promises to be the best yet. It features the release of the new ‘Legend’ series, a series of six, hand finished, limited edition prints, signed by the award winning automotive photographer Tim Wallace.
Recently named by manufacturer Hasselblad as one of the UK's most creative photographers, Tim has been shortlisted for the ‘Photographer of the year 2009’ by 'Professional Photographer' magazine after winning the award in 2008. He has also been awarded the Associate Distinction for Professional and Applied photography by the Royal Photographic Society.
His prints are ideal gifts for car enthusiasts and art lovers, but each one in the new series is strictly limited to a run of 50 so visit www.astonart.com to make sure you don’t miss out on your must-have piece of Aston art.
The 2010 version of the popular Aston Workshop calendar is also now available for £17.95. The calendar showcases a selection of high-quality, atmospheric shots from the Aston Art collection. The large format calendars are fast becoming collector’s items in their own right and make an affordable but highly desirable gift.
We have lots of other gifts available for Christmas at www.astonparts.com.
Ranging from children’s gifts such as remote control cars, posters and a cuddly Aston Martin teddy bear through to executive gifts such as handmade Aston Martin humidors and a very exclusive sterling silver Aston Martin DB5 display model priced at £26,000.
Back down to earth, how about a Lamy Pico compressible pocket pen in polished chrome or Aston Martin sterling silver cufflinks, keyring or tie-pin? and don’t forget that we always have a range of stylish Aston Martin clothing including t-shirts, polo shirts, scarves, jackets, fleeces and baseball caps, all of which make superb Christmas presents.
Owner of Aston Workshop, Bob Fountain, said: “We are delighted to release our range of gifts in time for Christmas on www.astonparts.com and are particularly proud of our new ‘Legend’ series. There are plenty of gifts to choose from and we can cater for any budget – so even if you can’t quite stretch to the real thing, you can ask for a scale model of your dream car instead. After the great response to our Christmas range over the past few years, particularly the calendars, we are hoping to see a lot of interest in these gifts over the festive period.”

It has one of the largest show rooms of nearly new and classic Aston Martins in the world with around 50 models on display.
