Who better than John Davenport to pick out the highlights of one of the sport’s most exciting years? Mick Walsh delves into his brilliant new book

When Rallying Got Serious

ASTON MARTIN: THE ENTIRE STORY

Aston Martin is fertile ground for marque histories. There are almost as many twists and turns in the company's ownership as at the Circuit de la Sarthe, where Aston achieved its greatest motorsport successes. Being better known for producing beautiful road cars than any particular technical mastery, Aston can attract the ‘coffee table’ treatment, where lovely photography and immaculate production values can mask vapid copy - but that’s not the case here.

The journey, as much as the destination, is a key part of any road trip, as proved on one of my greatest motoring experiences, the 1991 Carrera Panamericana revival. As copiloto to 'Julio Balmez' in his Lincoln Cosmopolitan, 'Wooly Bully', the journey to the start and back to Los Angeles had highlights to match the surreal rally from Tuxtla Gutiérrez to Ciudad Juárez.

Ever since the inelegant term 'restomod' emerged in the USA in the 1990s, it has been hung on a great variety of cars: from over-lowered, over-wheeled café showoffs to beautifully engineered developments of the original, such as those Eagle E-types that can cost you half a million quid.

In early spring 2025, the time came, for various reasons, to 'get out of Dodge'. But where to go? Somewhere warm with lots of old cars, ideally, so I could continue earning a living. My friend John had been regaling me for years with tales of Palm Springs: of desert scrapyards full of sun-bleached, rot-free British gems; of living in a condo with a pool, in a place where you could ogle daily-driven classics under endless blue skies while indulging a passion for architecture – or drown your sorrows at Polynesian-themed tiki bars.
