Aston Martin sold - Dr Ulrich Bez to remain CEO
Aston Martin annouced new shareholders - Official press release
Gaydon March 12, 2007 - Aston Martin is pleased to announce the start of a new chapter in its illustrious history following the announcement today that the prestigious sports car manufacturer has been sold to a consortium led by David Richards, John Sinders, Investment Dar and Adeem Investment, ending almost twenty years as part of Ford Motor Company.
After 20 years of ownership, Ford divested itself of the brand, its facilities and its products, in a deal valuing Aston at £479m.
Most important part of the deal is that Dr. Ulrich Bez will remain CEO over the coming years. He has been the key in defining the modern Aston Martin shape.

The current model line-up of the award-winning V8 Vantage, DB9, DB9 Volante, Vanquish S and V8 Vantage Roadster will soon be enhanced by the eagerly awaited high performance DBS model. Voted the UK’s coolest brand in 2006, Aston Martin has a fast-expanding dealership network of 126 dealers representing in 27 countries.
