Aston Martin talking to investors in funding review

Dec 13 (Reuters) - Luxury British carmaker Aston Martin
said on Friday it was in early stage talks with
potential investors about building "longer term relationships"
which may or may not involve an equity investment, as part of a
funding review.

The 106-year firm said in a statement that it was reviewing
its funding requirements and various options.

The Financial Times reported earlier that Aston Martin has
held meetings over recent weeks with Formula 1 billionaire
Lawrence Stroll, other carmakers and potential investors from
the Middle East, India and China.
