  • Aston Butterworth was a Formula Two constructor from the United Kingdom, during the years 1952-3 when Formula One was not the World Championship category (although colloquial use of the term "Formula One" usually incorrectly includes this period). They participated in four World Championship Grands Prix, entering a total of four cars. The project was instigated by Bill Aston, who decided to build a car for Formula Two; the chassis was a copy of the Cooper Formula Two, fitted with a flat-four engine devised by Archie Butterworth. (It has been suggested by several authors that a more accurate name for the car would be Cooper-AJB. ) The car made its debut in April, 1952 in the Lavant Cup at Goodwood, finishing eighth with Aston at the wheel. In May a second car was added, driven by Robin Montgomerie-Charrington and driven at Chimay in June, where Montgomerie-Charrington achieved the team's best finish: third place. Aston continued to appear in races throughout the 1953 season but there was never enough money to develop the program properly and when the new F1 regulations came in 1954 the story of Aston-Butterworth came to an end.
  • Aston war ein 1952 aktiver Rennstall in der Formel 1. Das Privatteam von Bill Aston war lediglich für vier WM-Läufe gemeldet, von denen es bei zweien startete. Das erste Rennen in Belgien fuhr der Brite Robert Montgomerie-Charrington, das er allerdings aufgrund eines technischen Defekts (Elektrik) in der 17. Runde aufgeben musste. Es folgte der Große Preis von Großbritannien, für den sich Bill Aston zwar qualifizieren konnte, allerdings musste er wegen erneuter technischer Mängel das Rennen absagen. In Deutschland fiel Bill Aston wiederum wegen eines fehlenden Öldrucks schon in der zweiten Runde aus, und beim letzten gemeldeten Rennen in Italien verpasste Bill Aston die Qualifikation. Nach diesen vier Rennen endete auch die Existenz des Rennstalls, und Bill Aston sowie Robert Montgomerie-Charrington beendeten ihre Formel-1-Karrieren.
