My Dad is in the Aston Owners club (AMOC) and they went to Pro-drive to see it being made and tested. He got some great photos although he was resticted what he could take.
I'll try and get them off him.
Sad thing was there where 20 places and only 15 went :evil:
Cant see that happening in Land Rovers. Imagaine if the RR sport was done like that and there were 20 places to see it in the factory...
....we'd have a fight on our hands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Not quite the same thing, but one of our customers was the financial director at AM so I got to take my son around the factory at the time the Vanquish was being developed. Another nice piece of kit.
Seeing the way the V8 bruisers were built was quite something. The pride of every single worker just shone out. If there was even the slightest blemish, it would go back to the person who did that part originally for correction. And the great thing was, they wanted them to come back if there was a fault. They were 100% committed to getting it right. Pride in workmanship, sadly, appears to be more and more uncommon in other companies.
