London-based independent classic Aston Martin specialist Nicholas Mee has created the world's first officially endorsed, high-street Aston Martin Heritage showroom.

The business, which has traded for 21 years, has opened a new showroom in West London, endorsed by Aston Martin.

Dr. Ulrich Bez, CEO of Aston Martin turned up at the opening ceremony, to offer words of encouragement and support to all involved.

Director of Aston Martin's Works Service and parts operations, Kingsley Riding-Felce, said: "Aston Martin takes its heritage seriously. It is crucial that current and prospective owners of our Heritage models are able to receive the kind of levels of service and specialist knowledge that is expected of the Aston Martin brand."

"It seems essential to us that Aston Martin Heritage has a dedicated showroom in the heart of London”, said Nicholas Mee, the dealership's founder. "These premises will be London’s focal point for showing and dealing in these beautiful, collectable cars."
