Prodrive and Aston Martin Racing Tour
Discussion
Right based on the impromptu list on another thread I'm going to organise a tour of the Prodrive Factory at Banbury (yes the one just off the M40)
Many may know it is owned by Astons Ex Chairman David Richards
Not so many may know it has a long history as the home of the official Aston Martin Racing Team, so this is where all the race cars are developed, built and repaired.
This will give you some insight

Address -
Prodive Ltd, Acorn Way, Banbury, Oxfordshire OX16 3ER
Saturday 17th May at 10:30AM for 11AM start cost is £25/person on the day, under 16's are free, no children under 9
We are limited to 35 people so we may have to run a reserve list.
The Aston Le Mans cars will be in build that weekend.
Just to be clear this is not one of my "drives" it is "just" a factory tour.
So if you are interested cut and paste with your name added!
OK so updating I think we now have!

Quick question? may be a silly question, but is the £27 for the tour, or for something else on the tour, like lunch?? If it is for the actual tour, is this the general public rate, or our rate? thought I would ask, as I haven't heard of paying to do a factory tour unless it has a museum or something attached to the tour.

£27 is the currently advertised rate for a tour at the weekend.I will haggle on this of course
They do have a small "museum" and shop and have always charged for tours.
Believe me it is A LOT more interesting than the Gaydon Factory Tour
