Aston Martin
In 1947, Brown bought Aston Martin, which was then a small, struggling company. He immediately set about transforming the company, investing heavily in new technology and hiring the best engineers. Brown's goal was to make Aston Martin the world's leading manufacturer of sports cars.

Brown retired from Aston Martin in 1972. He died in 1993 at the age of 89. He is remembered as one of the most important figures in the history of the British automotive industry.
