Aston Service Dorset

The origin of Aston Service Dorset can be traced back to the 1930's when Ivan Forshaw was in business as a Lagonda specialist. He was instrumental in establishing the 2 Litre Lagonda Register and later involved in its amalgamation with the Lagonda Club, taking up the post of spares and technical advisor. Ivan set up home in Parkstone, Dorset and married Enid in 1938, producing two sons, Roger in 1940 and Richard in 1946.

Ivan also had a passion for motorbikes and was a well known grass track rider. Ivan ceased business and joined the Army, initially as a dispatch rider, rising through the ranks to the rank of Acting Major and seeing service in North Africa and Italy before being invalided out in 1945. After the end of the war he recommenced business, continuing to provide a spares service and technical support to Lagonda Owners.
