The move is another landmark in Aston Martin’s ‘Second Century Plan’. It marks a uniquely significant moment in which history has come full-circle, with a special run of 25 DB4 G.T. Continuation cars being built at same site as the original DB4 G.T.s were made almost 60 years ago.
Since moving to its purpose-built headquarters and state-of-the-art production facility at Gaydon in 2003, Aston Martin’s Newport Pagnell premises has been home to Aston Martin Works - heart of the heritage sales, service, spares and restoration operation. Production of the Mk1 Vanquish ceased in 2007, but since that time countless classic Aston Martins have been restored to their former glory by the Works team.
The firm says that Newport Pagnell was the perfect facility at which to build the DB4 G.T. Continuation cars.
The first of these track-only lightweight specification cars have already been delivered to their owners, with each car taking approximately 4,500 man hours to build. The remaining cars will be completed and delivered during the course of 2018.
Paul Spires, managing director at Aston Martin Works said: “It’s a source of enormous pride that our Tickford Street premises are once again building new cars for Aston Martin. The DB4 G.T. Continuation is the perfect demonstration of the capabilities we have here at Works and testament to the timeless appeal of Aston Martin’s illustrious classics.”
