Another landmark in Aston Martin's Second Century plan was achieved today with production officially returning to the company's historic Newport Pagnell site. 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.
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 passionate and highly-skilled Works team.
With such a depth of knowledge and experience, and with Aston Martin Works being the spiritual home for many of the marque's most celebrated models, from the DB2/4 to the Vanquish S Ultimate, Newport Pagnell was the perfect facility at which to build the DB4 G.T. Continuation cars.
Each car is an exquisite demonstration of Works' unique ability to blend absolute authenticity and old-world craftsmanship with modern techniques and performance enhancements.
Paul Spires, Managing Director, Aston Martin Works said of Newport Pagnell's official return as a production facility, "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."
