I was at Aston Martin Works in Newport Pagnell for the announcement on Friday evening. Quite an exciting development! I cant imagine the costs involved in developing these cars, especially with the bespoke engine! Had a good poke around the DB11s they had on display:   Spent the next morning looking at DB9s on Autotrader...

Some no doubt to people who have no intention of taking delivery but have enough cash for the deposit, hoping they can onsell for a profit before they have to take delivery

I think Aston Martin would know exactly who would buy one
They probably made 25 phone calls and sold them all in an afternoon!

It's an excellent way to keep the brand in the news and I bet they don't want to be over shadowed by Jaguar.

It's a fantastically simple business model for them, isn't it? They probably make as much profit from the short run of continuations than the main factory, and they can't lose by creating a want with limited supply..! And you've already got a superstar V8 Joe T..!! Mog mag says so
