How the AM dashboard is built

[KarlFranz]

Someone on 6-Speed posted a link to a video from Discovery on how the AM dash is built. Pretty interesting if you haven't seen it:

Really interesting. Thanks for posting that.

Seems like a well designed unit from a manufacturing point of view.

Excellent, thanks.

Interesting to see the inside of the dash.
You don't get that detail on the factory tour.
Shame the commentary is a little vague and inaccurate.

The ‘Speed Makers’ video of the DB9 factory build process, apart from the corny Bond references, is the best I’ve seen so far.

Shows the dash construction too : http://www.streetfire.net/video/aston-martin-speed...

Not able to watch the vid with sound on, does it say where the factory is?

I do know that the components (inc wood and leather) for Jaguar dashboards are made in Romania, transported to Rubery, near Longbridge, by lorry where the dashboards are assembled, and then loaded back onto a lorry which takes them to Castle Brom.

Factory is in Gaydon Warwickshire
All the dash it built there, the leather is bought from Bridge of Weir in Scotland then cut and stitched at Gaydon
