Aston Martin posted a first-quarter pretax loss of 119 million pounds ($146 million) after sales dropped by nearly a third due to the impact of the coronavirus outbreak and the destocking of dealers, the carmaker said on Wednesday.

Core retail sales slumped 31% year-on-year, the company said. ($1 = 0.8144 pounds)
