One last Aston Martin Vanquish will roll off of the company’s historic Newport Pagnell factory tomorrow. Aston Martin has built cars at the factory, located in Milton Keynes, England, since 1954, but the company will move all production to a different facility when Newport Pagnell closes.
In 2003, Ford consolidated its British luxury brands into one facility in Gaydon, Warwickshire. The modern facility builds Jaguars, Land Rovers and Aston Martins, as well as serving as home to the British Motor Heritage Centre. It is unknown what will happen to the facility in the long term now that Aston Martin is owned by a consortium and Land Rover and Jaguar are up for sale.

Newport Pagnell was a great factory, but Aston has to move on. The Vanquish is growing a bit old now. The worlds greatest company needs to change.

The worlds greatest is Beaverton Foods, makers of Beaver Brand Jalapeno Mustard, which is a MAN’s mustard and thus is not available in England.

I’ll never own a Kia or a Honda, if I can help it, but since this is “car news for enthusiasts” it is relevent to my interests.

FOR ALL YOU ASTON HATERS, YOU MIGHT AS WELL SAY YOU HATE ONE OF THE BIGGEST SYMBOLS OF CLASS. EITHER YOU HAVE NO TASTE OR YOU’RE JUST REDNECKS.
I HAVE HEARD STEREOTYPES ABOUT AMERICANS LOVING THEIR FOOD, BUT IT SEEMS THAT CTS DRIVER AND RICARDOHEAD ARE TOTALLY OBSESSED. RICARDOHEAD, A CAR NEWS SITE SEEMS UNSUITABLE FOR YOU, WHY DON’T YOU LOOK INTO SPEED EATING AS A POTENTIAL CAREER?
BTW DEANSTER, I OWN AN ASTON.

Deanster, Prodrive just bought the company, obviosly this means the new ficility will be bigger, more “advanced” and will make more Astons. Higher production totals for car models will hopefully mean lower prices to the cvonsumer. As a consumer, maybe those who care to know this, (ralph included)will know what to expect from the company over the next year.

Its kind of a shame since the building is part of Aston Martin’s history. My father’s friend owns a Vanquish S which is fantastic. A sad day. I hope Prodrive knows what they are doing.

I agree, CTS. If I absolutely HAD to buy a brit car, it would be an Aston. The rest are ugly garbage.
.
BTW – try the jalapeno mustard if you can find it there. My sister lives in Idyllwild and goes into Palm Springs, Riverside, and Temecula all the time. She can find other Beaver Mustards but not jalapeno mustard, so I sent her a bottle and she loves it. CTS, if you have seen it, please post the name of the store so I can get it to her.

I have seen the error in my ways… I wish I had majored in the pansy-ass douche-bag program back in college. So then I could develop OCD for an absolute money pit of a car. I’m beginning to think Aston Martin is Jeremy Clarkson’s retard half-brother.

Latest news is they are going to turn this former Aston plant into a Haggis Canning Facility, thus there will be not change in the quality, value, or smell, or market perception of the output.

Jeremy Clarkson doesn’t have much of a family, you idiot AMGoff. You sound exactly like a chav…if you don’t know what that is, google it.

I am the most “ineducated,” hmmm…. that certainly doesn’t bode well for yourself, nonetheless I’d love to know how you came to that conclusion, you ****ing moron. Sometimes I wish I were UNeducated… then instead of paying $60-grand in student loans I could afford one of those whiz-bang Ass-ton Martins and complete my transition into a full-blown homosexual.
