Area 15 Assistant Rep Gill Bland | Published on 2/1/2025
Area 15 were treated to a fascinating evening and insight into Simon Lane’s automotive career, and his time as Director of Q at Aston Martin.
After running dealerships for many years, Simon had the vision to produce limited edition Aston Martins whilst being Principal at Aston Martin Cambridge.
Notable special projects including the Blades V8 Vantage Acrobatic team, V12 Vantage Spitfire edition and the Red Arrows Vanquish. These limited edition high value cars also generated significant funds for the relevant organisation charities.
AML HQ approached Simon to head up Q at Aston Martin, producing the DBS Superleggera Concorde edition and the one-off Aston Martin Victor amongst others.
After 8 years with AML, Simon headed to another great British marque - Lotus, as Director of Special Vehicle Engineering before his new venture with RML.
All members thoroughly enjoyed the talk and presentation.
