The report added that the Canadian businessman, who is worth more than £2billion, would want to wrap Racing Point cars in the 106-year old manufacturers green colours.
 
Aston Martin’s statement reads: “The Company confirms that it is reviewing its funding requirements and various funding options.

“It is also engaged in early stage discussions with potential strategic investors in relation to building longer term relationships which may or may not involve an equity investment.

“A further announcement will be made as and when appropriate.”
