New Aston Martin configurator has been launched, well over due but something that Tobias has mentioned would be coming soon.
Seems to work well; very impressed by the state of the art graphics and presentation.
Job well done Tobias and team.
Thumbs up.

Thank you Richard, another good strong month. Hopefully we will see some good global H1 data 4 weeks tomorrow. All very positive..,, with a lot of action in H2 to look forward to.

Delivery of AMR Pro due Q4 this year, 40 to be produced for lucky customers in total not 25 as originally planned. Will give a major boost to Q4 results.

Looking at the Top Gear Magazine interview 12th May with Tobias Moers I don’t think he has any immediate Le Mans plans... However I have always fancied going so it would give me the perfect excuse to attend next year.

Could it be the finished Valkyrie launch and customer ready car.

Or is it press first drives

Definitely got me very interested.

Best with volume turned up.
Courtesy of Catfish ... well spotted.

Catfish, I think you need to post that Twitter Feed regrading the 28th on a new post on it's own as it's so impressive. Cheers mate.

Oh that's great clip, I must stop playing it full volume in the office though ... Oh what the hell one more time :0)

Great clip again Tiny, that engine sound is awesome and as stated “ The car looks spectacularly futuristic on the road with stunning design. It looks like something out a sci-fi movie.”
Just love it ... Thanks for posting.

Bond movie out 30 September, so perhaps we may see something then and I just don’t mean “No Time to Die”.
2nd half of the year should be very entertaining and positive for Movie goers and Aston Martin.

Enjoy

A great clip Tiny, great publicity and along with Bond “No Time to Die” should help the 2022 order book...

Thank you Richard, appreciate your update and it’s always good to here from you as it’s great to have someone who knows what is happening at the coal face. Have a good weekend.

Some more high octane publicity for the Aston Martin Vantage. Not sure if previously posted...

Posted earlier, but just to emphasise the savings with Mercedes after Stroll and Moers agreement last year.
“Car” magazine June 2021 - Page 71 Paragraph 2, line 4.
“ According to people in the know, AMG parts bought by Aston are, as a result, now between 30 and 50 percent cheaper than was the case a year ago. And that’s only the beginning”.
Author Georg Kacher - European Editor Car magazine. One of the world’s most respected Auto journalists
So I think he should know.

What I also found of significant interest was that Michael Straughan who helped turn around Bentley and Ralf Illenberg from AMG (for 16 years one of Moers key men) have joined the Aston Martin team.

Worth a read and again underlines why I am on board.

World class leadership and brand.

Have a nice evening all.

I see a post you made earlier has been removed casting doubt on my statement, I hope you acknowledge your mistake.

Sorry C2645 it is only in the magazine hard copy .... I am sure a man of your stature can purchase one. It's a good read...

Hi Chat, also as previously mentioned by Tobias and Gregor the operation cost savings are now starting to have a positive impact on the balance sheet. Highlighted by Puffer in previous chat ( thank you Puffer ).

Hi Chat, if you look at the data from previous years for wholesale figures Q1 this year were very positive( Details below ), Q2 also seems to be following the same trend, although German lock down may have an impact in Europe.

Q1 – 2020 578
Q1 – 2019 1,057
