With the recent core model replacements, continuous vehicle production was obviously interrupted. Particularly so in the case of the DB11 to DB12 change, when there was a longer interval than planned, due to software technical difficulties.

Purely for my own historical interest, I note the basic details of new model announcements.
I list from each model announcement, what AML say about expected first deliveries. What I don't know, is when deliveries did actually begin. I would be grateful if you could please provide approximate information or corrections, regarding the first delivery dates of each of the recent new models.

It will be interesting to know how the production stepped up. I presume the full core model change over will not be complete, until deliveries of the yet to be announced, Vanquish Volante commence.

These were the original expected first delivery times;

2023 Q4 DB12 Coupe
2023 Q4 DB12 Volante
2024 Q2 Vantage Coupe
2024 Q2 DBX 707
2024 Q4 Vanquish Coupe
2025 Q2 Vantage Roadster

Did the deliveries begin at the times above?

Thank you.

You should know Jon that Marketing and Reality are two very different things!

Yes, that is why I am seeking help.
Our friends, the recent new model buyers, will know more about the timing of Reality.

The one to worry about is when they say 'We're committed to...'. That means 'We're not going to'. Politicians use it a lot, eg 'We're committed to growth'.

But surely Aston Martin have never made any commitments that were not adhered to.
