MORE than a thousand of car enthusiasts turned out to share their passion for one of the most celebrated British car manufacturers.

Drivers and fans of Aston Martin rallied together at Beaulieu for a vehicle showcase.

More than 100 British cars lined up to be viewed by enthusiasts.

The museum aimed to create a "real-life" timeline through of Aston Martin's.

The company was first founded in 1913 by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford.

This is the second Simple Martin event that has been hosted in the South.

Throughout the day, participants and the museums visitors were able to vote for their favourite car of the show with the People’s Choice Award.

In the afternoon, the winner John Palmer who owns a Aston Martin V125 received a Beaulieu trophy, before leading a cavalcade of the most popular cars through the attraction grounds.

The runners up were as follows: Chris Lawton who owns a Rapide and Allan Southhard who has DBI, which has been in his family since 1968.

Prior to the event Senior Events Executive Andy Ollerenshaw said wee were thrilled by the impressive turn-out for the first Simply Aston Martin. Judging by the response from Aston Martin owners and feedback from visitors, this year’s rally should be even more fantastic and we hope to hit a total of 400 Astons.

In total there were more than 300 Astons at the event at almost 2,000 attendees.
