From Online Money and Finance:

The Telegraph reported that Aston Martin, which is owned by Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F), will be sold by the end of the week for an estimated GBP500M. The sale will go to a consortium of business interests from the U.S. and the Middle East, headed by Prodrive founder and owner David Richards.

are there any changes expected on the car itself?

 

I did a quick search and couldn't find any other info. I'm glad to see Ford is finding AM a "better home" (that's my hope anyway).
Oh, just found this little tidbit, so it's a racecar company, even better.

Sat Mar 3, 8:47 AM ET
LONDON (Reuters) - Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:F - news) is in exclusive talks with Prodrive, a motor racing company, over the potential sale of the U.S. carmaker's Aston Martin luxury car unit, The Times said on Saturday.


The newspaper quoted unnamed sources as saying Prodrive had trouble financing a bid but Ford had chosen it as the racing group had offered a higher price than other interested buyers.

Ford could receive over 450 million pounds ($875 million) for Aston Martin, sources familiar with the situation told Reuters last month.

Ford could not immediately be reached for comment.
