Aston Martin is sold to Arabs
Ford has found the buyer for Aston Martin. Contrary to hearings that the legendary British company the French manufacturer of the goods of a premium-class will buy Louis Vuitton, Aston Martin has been sold to Englishmen. According to the official version - now Aston Martin is in the Arabian sheikhs’ possession.
Last year Ford, which now faces huge financial problems, has estimated Aston Martin in $925 million and it is obvious, that Ford will sell not all company entirely - Americans have decided to reserve approximately 8 % of Aston Martin. The tenders for other shares were being held for a very long time. As a result, the control over James Bond’s favorite trade mark has received a consortium of investors for $848 million.
This consortium is headed by the racer David Richards. Ha has not just won the world championship on rally, but now he also supervises Prodrive company, which specializes on preparation for racing and on sports cars.
However, the basic financial charges will be incurred not by Richards, and two Kuwaiti investment companies - Investment Dar and Adeem Investment Co. (plus John Sinders - the collector of Aston Martin cars and millionaire will be also included into this business).
