But there’s an undeniable grit to both mindset and landscape, seemingly far removed from the more idealised vision of Englishness that many might associate with Aston Martin. Yet, thanks to Sheffield-born chief creative officer Marek Reichman, the influence of the urban and natural Tscenery of the north is present in everything from Vantage to Valkyrie. Hence the inspiration for a bit of a road trip in one of his cars, tracing a chronological and geographical path through his upbringing to better understand how these surroundings inform the spirit of the Vantage we’ll be driving. From Marek’s hometown of Sheffield we’ll follow his journey across the Pennines and North York Moors to Middlesbrough, where he studied industrial design and combined his fascination for the manufacturing process with influences from the rich landscape, history and traditions. ‘I can appreciate the beauty in anything,’ muses Marek, relaxing in an office stacked with an eclectic array of inspirational objects, ranging from boutique bicycles to hand-crafted Japanese teapots.
