Enquries relating to your Aston Martin, refurbishment and heritage

I want to find out about a particular Aston Martin and who owns it. Does the Club have this information?
With the help of our Members, the Club has built an extensive database of Aston Martins cars and their provenance.
This database is searchable by Members - "Car Collection" on the website; if you would like some help with this, please let us know.

For non-members: if the car you are researching is in our database and owned by a current Member, we can pass on your details to the Member and ask them to get in touch.
We never give out contact details of Members (or cars) without their consent.

If the car you are researching is not in our database, we recommend that  you contact the Aston Martin Heritage Trust; they too have a large database and are the keepers of a lot of historical information. 

Within the Club, some Members with specialist knowledge have volunteered to be a point of contact for advice on a specific model or era. Their contact information can be found in the magazines and  on the website.

For Club Members


I have recently found/bought an Aston Martin that needs refurbishment. Can you help?
We recommend you ask fellow Club Members in your area about their experience with local restoration companies, or Members with a model similar to your car. Our events offer a great opportunity to meet like-minded people and exchange information or ask questions.
You will find a list of upcoming events in the calendar on our website, or on the Area Pages.
Some restoration companies advertise in the AM Monthly; their contact details might offer a good place to start as well.

The Aston Martin Heritage Trust may be able to help find information on your car's original factory fittings and colours; depending on the service you need there might be a discount for Members.

To find the contact details for the Era Representative relevant to your query: log in to the AMOC website with your Membership details; under the 'CARS' menu, select the era; scroll down the page and you'll find the contact details for the Representative era specialist.

You may also like to post your questions on the Forum. This is a very active part of the website. (Please note that your log in details for the Forum are different to your Membership log in; please email us if you need assistance.)

I have just bought an Aston Martin and would like to find out more about its history.
With the help of our Members, the AMOC has built an extensive database of cars and their provenance.
As a Member you can search this database by signing in to the website and search the "Car Collection".
If the car you are researching is not in the database, we recommend you contact the Aston Martin Heritage Trust: they are the keepers of all the historical information regarding your car and provide a discounted fee for some of their services to Members.

For non-Members:


I have just bought/am considering buying an Aston Martin and would like to find out more about its history.
The Aston Martin Heritage Trust have an extensive database of historical information on Aston Martin cars and might hold some records on your car. You can contact them here: Aston Martin Heritage Trust.

I am refurbishing/rebuilding/repairing an Aston Martin, can you help?
We recommend contacting a specialist restoration company local to you.

Depending on the nature of the project, the Aston Martin Heritage Trust may also be able to help with historical facts and build sheets.

Non-members wishing to connect with Club Members or their Aston Martins

I would like an Aston Martin to attend an event or be part of a film. Can the Club help me contact its Members local to me?
We are unable to assist with requests of this nature. There are specialist companies who provide vehicles (with the appropriate insurance) for this purpose. Non-members can join the Forum - to a limited degree - and post requests such as these on there, but the Club would not contact its Members to make these requests. 

I would like to contact an Aston Martin owner to take part in a social event.
We are unable to assist with requests of this nature. In very rare circumstances, we may contact the Area Representative local to you, but this is very much the exception rather than the rule. 

I would like to contact someone who is/used to be a Member of the Club, or find out if someone I know is a Member. Can you help?
While we know that the reasons for wanting to contact a (former) Member might be in their interest, we never give out contact details of our Members - unless permission has been explicitly given. We may be able to contact a current Member to let them know that we have received an enquiry, but we cannot give any details about our Members - including whether that person is a Member or not.

Valuations

I need to have my car valued - does AMOC provide this service?
Unfortunately the Club does not have the facilities to offer a valuation service.

Our recommendation to both Members and non-members is to contact either our sponsor RM Sothebys, or a local specialist restoration company or auction house.

We are not able to recommend particular restoration companies, but many companies advertise in our magazine AM Monthly, so we suggest to Members to start there. You can also post a question on the Forum (instructions on how to access the Forum are set out on this page).

I have items or memorabilia relating to Aston Martin that I would like to sell, value or find out more about - can you help?
In this instance, we recommend contacting the Aston Martin Heritage Trust
