Aston Martin as a company went public recently. As part of this process, it produced a very lengthy document a public offering prospectus in September. And Automotive News has drawn our attention to one very, very interesting section. In June 2018, a "third party car manufacturer" entered into a contract with Aston"s consulting business to buy the tooling and design drawings for the "previous generation Vanquish". That"s the Vanquish Aston no longer makes, replaced entirely by the lovely new DBS Superleggera. The intellectual property sale section also notes how this contract includes "ongoing consultancy support for the next 18 months", meaning our mystery buyer will get in-house AM support. Along with the tools and designs for Aston"s V12-engined brute.
