Director dealings: Aston Martin director makes share purchase

Aston Martin Lagonda revealed on Tuesday that non-executive director Robin Freestone had acquired 5,000 ordinary shares in the FTSE 250-listed luxury carmaker.

Freestone, who joined Aston Martin in late January, purchased the shares on Monday at an average price of 1,970.0p each, for a total value of £98,500.

Back in October, Aston Martin shares surged after Mercedes-Benz said it would be lifting its stake in the company to 20% over the next few years.

Mercedes said it had entered into a "new strategic technology agreement and an enhanced partnership" with Aston Martin.

As of 1610 GMT, Aston Martin shares were down 1.85% at 1,937.50p.
