Thank you very very much for posting that up!
10 years old and not a fan of Alain De Cadenet (too blue blood for me)
But that is an excellent history of Astons racing heritage and how it influenced AM's ownership and product development
I do agree with him on DBR1 being the most beautiful roadster and Project DP215 the most beautiful coupe
I also think that has give me some ideas for the name of my project

Great to watch and thanks for posting - any idea where it was filmed?

Around the JCB estate
Same place this was filmed

That would make sense.

It looks like there are a few other similar films by the same director/production company (with Ferrari, Maserati etc) and I presume that a number of the cars come from the Bamford garage.
