Great offer GT, very nice of you... we must be due a blue day.
Also it would be great to meet up with LTH’s for a Coffee or two when times are better nice idea CC.
Salute you both.
SP - 1832 Have a good weekend all
I am still on for £45 all going well. If sales are as phenomenal as Stroll says in China and this migrates globally then 50’s + is possible.
With Mercedes tec coming in to play Q3-4 along with Stroll, Moers and Gregor’s impact on the business, it should be a positive year.
Evening All, can we expect any updates before FY Results ? Or will it be F1 Team launch followed by FY results.
Looking forward to hear how DBX sales are going and updates on China.
A bit of an oversell today IMO, so took advantage for another £3000 when it dropped 6%. I should have waited another hour, hey ho... typical : ) Hopefully it has cleared the way for a steady week.
Not long and we will be getting some end of year figures and have the Aston Martin F1 car presentation to talk about. GLA
Luis, I don’t think you will be too far out. If the vaccinations for Covid 19 roll out globally goes well I am hopeful of £45 minimum as a result, along with F1 return, Bond - No Time to Die and Valkyrie deliveries.
If sales figures improve dramatically by Q2 - Q3 then your 50-60 may well be in range.
Here’s hoping for a safer and Happy New Year.

Evening all, well the bottle of port is now open ... first target met £20 . Although I can imagine this is only a very small step for Mr Stroll and Management Team.
I see on another post the mention of Mkt Cap and this is where I see our underestimated value when Stroll, Moers and Gregor efforts come in to fruition.
Aston Martin current Mkt Cap 2.3 Billion GBP
Ferrari current Mkt Cap 36.7 Billion Eur
Interesting figures, think 2021 will show how undervalued we currently are and potential.... awesome.
Here is hoping for a healthier 2021 for all after this awful year.
Looking forward to better times.
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year

11 D 2 H 34 M
JJ, I think most if not all posts I and others have written have been very positive about having Tobias on board. However I believe we wouldn’t have Tobias if it wasn’t for Stroll and although he has not the same operational skills as Tobias his business acumen, contacts and knowledge of brand marketing is exceptional.
Hopefully has a positive affect on Monday.
It’s just been released online so I would expect it in Sunday’s edition.
Great to hear from the man responsible for the operational turnaround and he has definitely been very busy in his first four months.
Feeling very positive for AML 2021. 12 days 3 hours 49 minutes
Hi Dunni, just seen on line.Aston Martin News... released 2 hrs ago.
About a fifth of orders for the SUV in the market are from women, with a large number of its customers new to the brand.
While Aston had internal problems to tackle, one of the external challenges is tightening emissions regulations, particularly in Europe and China, which may force the group to withdraw cars with its flagship V12 engine.
Mr Moers said debate is live within the business whether it can make its V12 engine comply with incoming “Euro 7” engine regulations. “I’m not sure honestly, that’s the honest answer However, the brand will still have “aficionados for a V12” around the world, he added.
After floating in 2018, Aston suffered a collapse in its shares after a string of profits warnings stemming from having too many unsold cars piling up in dealerships.
Mr Moers added the company will have less than 1,000 excess cars left in showrooms by January, down from 2,800 at the start of this year after an intensive programme of destocking,
Mr Moers was parachuted into the role from head of Mercedes’ AMG, the high performance subsidiary, over the summer by Aston’s chairman Lawrence Stroll, who led a rescue of the business earlier in the year.
Mr Stroll aims to restore the marque’s luxury credentials, and has installed a team he believes will help the business begin generating positive cash by 2023.
His arrival at the company this year also coincided with a large-scale clear-out of its executive team.
As well as a new chief executive and chairman, within the last year the company has replaced almost every top flight position, including the most senior executives in finance, sales, product planning, operations, engineering and the US, its largest international market.
The company has pushed back its first battery electric model, which will now be an Aston Martin instead of a Lagonda, the luxury sub-brand that is part of the group. The company has yet to reveal its new plans for the Lagonda nameplate.
“The electric car has to be an Aston Martin,” said Mr Moers, “because if you bring a new brand to life for electric vehicle cars, that’s wrong in my perspective.”
Sales of its DBX sport utility vehicle have been gaining “momentum” in China, which is typically a weak market for sports cars despite having one of the largest global pools of luxury car buyers, Mr Moers said.
The new chief executive of Aston Martin has vowed to leave “no corner untouched” to turn round the luxury car brand, with plans for several models and a fresh focus on better engineering.
In his first interview since taking the job in August, Tobias Moers said he has “broken down silos” between units and overhauled every part of the business to try and rejuvenate the company.
The brand will release 10 derivatives of existing cars within two years including two offshoots of its new DBX sport utility vehicle, as part of a planned model offensive, he told the Financial Times
Mr Moers wants to refocus the company on engineering and bring more of its development in-house from suppliers, while working more closely with Mercedes-Benz to produce bespoke engines for the company.
Daimler, Mercedes’ parent company, owns a fifth of Aston’s shares and already supplies the British carmaker with some technology.
He also plans to boost Aston’s German engineering outfit, which is based at the country’s famous Nürburgring race circuit.
“Our technology partnership is there [in Germany], all the engineering suppliers are there, we should do something there to get the most efficiency out of the whole corporation,” he said
