Seems that the Aston Martin’s controlling shareholder, Kuawiti Investment Dar Co., contacted some companies to buy its 64%, amounting to 630 million Euros (800 million U.S. dollars or 500 million Pounds), and the two companies that are reported to have been approached are Toyota and Mahindra & Mahindra.
And the 630million Euros are exactly what Investment Dar Co. payed in 2007, but most companies are not willing to spend so much for Aston Martin right now.
