The business journalists have been reporting for some while that Aston Martin had a serious need for more operating capital.Adding to their range was making the need rather more acute and the account in post #17 would suggest that some of the expenditure had been put on ice.Maybe a consequence of their public listing as quoted companies have to be a both more transparent and more prudent than their private counterparts.I suspect the initial cash injection will turn out to be just the first installment and several more will be needed.Maybe the reflected glory of Formula 1 involvement will shift a few cars and assist with a return on the mountain of money that will be tied up.
