KENT, CT – Unless you see them gathered together at a show, it’s hard to recall just how many auto brands are and were produced in Britain.

Beside Jaguar, MG and Land Rover models, there were Sunbeam, Triumph, Lotus, Mini and Morgan entries. There was even a Riley. Most eye-catching was a 1964 Aston Martin DB5, best known for being featured in the James Bond movie franchise.
RIDE-CT has gathered stories on the show and on the DB5 and will be posting them soon, including videos. For now, here’s a gallery of some on the models on display…
