Well it is cheaper than the product.

I have noticed something like this before.
A limited company is incorporated, based at a private address.

The name - Aston Martin Limited.

https://find-and-update.company-information.servic...

Incorporated October 2022, but now described as Dormant.
What is the game? Hoping to sell at a profit?

Most of Aston Martin's own limited companies include Lagonda in the title.
Perhaps this was used at one time by Aston Martin, but became unwanted.

Ah but the door to the WC in the hall is actually a lift that goes down 10 floors to vast underground car production facility that nobody knows about...

If you do a search you will find the name ASTON MARTIN LIMITED has been used a few times by various people when forming a company, then either dissolved or changed name.

In 2009; 2016; and 2017 and the current one here in 2022.

Lol yes, the Remmington Microscreen. “It’s so good I bought the company!”

For years the lads at work would refer to me as Victor also (post doing an MBO), so its not a name id quickly forget.

Interesting as to why somebody would use what maybe a probelmatic name for a holding company but if it never trades and gets renamed before its used then realistically no chamce of it causing a problem; so I guess why not.

Im sure makes the owner smile and makes for a little pub banter “Im the Managing Director of Aston Martin, don’t you know”! biggrin
