A 50-year association with making Aston Martin cars ended today (Thurs) in Newport Pagnell.
In front of VIPs, local dignitaries and workers past and present the last Aston Martin Vanquish S Ultimate Edition was driven off the line by the longest-serving employee Kenny Clarke.
Earlier guests heard Director Kingsley Riding-Felce say all those involved with the company and its world-famous products should feel proud of all that they had achieved.
"It is a sad day for Newport Pagnell - but Aston Martin will never die!" he said.
The east side of the Tickford Street site will be redeveloped while servicing of cars will continue on the west side.
Aston Martin cars will continue to be built at its Gaydon, Warwickshire, factory.
