History

The Aston Martin Ulster was introduced in 1934 as a road-going version of the marque’s successful racing cars. Named after Aston Martin’s achievements in the RAC Tourist Trophy held in Ulster, the car quickly gained a reputation for both performance and reliability. It was powered by a 1.5-litre engine, delivering competitive speed for its class while maintaining durability over long distances.

The Ulster proved its capabilities in major endurance events, including the Mille Miglia and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. During an era when racing demanded both skill and mechanical endurance, the car stood out for its balanced design and consistent performance. Its lightweight construction and efficient engineering made it well suited to the challenging conditions of long-distance racing.

Only a limited number of Ulster models were produced, adding to their exclusivity and historical significance. Today, surviving examples are highly valued and regarded as some of the finest sports cars of the pre-war period. The vehicle represents a time when motorsport was defined by mechanical simplicity, driver skill, and innovation.
