Aston Butterworth was a Formula One constructor from Britain. They participated in 4 grands prix, entering a total of 4 cars. The team was created by racers Archie Butterworth and Bill Aston, who decided to build a car for Formula 2; they did so and raced it in April, 1952 in the Lavant Cup at Goodwood, where they arrived in eighth position, with Aston at the wheel. In May a second car was added, driven by Robert 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 in 1954 the story of Aston-Butterworth came to an end.
