Aston Martin dealer toasts record March

ASTON MARTIN Works is raising a glass this month after a record March that saw its best monthly sales results yet.

The special showroom for the iconic British firm saw the extreme V12 Vantage S and the extremely beautiful Vanquish Volante lead the way in sales, with well-to-do buyers racing to place orders for the earliest deliveries of the two newest Astons.

Based at the historic home of Aston Martin in Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire, Aston Martin Works has for almost 60 years been home to either the factory or, more recently, the brand’s specialist heritage, restoration and servicing operations.

The current new car showroom opened at the Works site in 2012.

General Sales Manager at Aston Martin Works, Paul Spires, explained: “Over the course of the month we saw huge excitement about the new Aston Martin models along with continuing interest in the four-door, four-seat, Rapide S and iconic DB9.

“Buyers were also keen to discuss the recently-announced V8 Vantage N430 which made its global debut earlier this month at the Geneva Motor Show.”

He added: “Notching up our best month of new car orders to date, in what remains a challenging but undeniably more optimistic economic climate, is clearly cause for celebration.”
