With a news conference and statement on Monday, Ford rubber-stamped the sale of Aston Martin for $Prodrive8 million to a US and Middle Eastern consortium headed by UK-based Prodrive’s David Richards.
Richards, to lead Prodrive into formula one next year, will be non-executive chairman of Aston Martin.
It also emerged that Sheikh Maktoum Hasher Maktoum al-Maktoum – the now departed founder of the A1 GP series – could invest in Aston Martin.
