Remastering, remixing, re-imagining: call it what you want, but revisiting the past and giving it the benefit of the now" is big business. Hot on the heels of the announcement about his post-Jaguar third act, Ian Callum"s new operation has unveiled its first project: the Aston Martin Vanquish 25. "It"s rare that a designer has the chance to retell the story of one of their own cars," Callum notes. "I"ve wanted to do that for some time. Materials and technologies have advanced, allowing us to introduce these along with new ideas that weren"t feasible when the car was launched." Callum"s Warwickshire-based team is rapidly expanding, but in addition to his core crew the Vanquish 25 is a collaboration with Swiss specialist R-Reforged (affiliated to Aston"s biggest dealer in the country and its sister GT3 race team), as well as leading British watch brand Bremont, Bridge of Weir Leather Company, Michelin and Mulberry.
