Classic Motor Cars (CMC) in Bridgnorth spent more than 7,000 hours and more than four years restoring a one-off Aston Martin supercar before breaking the speed record in speed test in Campbeltown, Scotland in June, 2023.

The car never achieved its top speed when it rolled off the production line in 1979, and the Bridgnorth team’s achievement made headlines around the world in the motoring press.
