Drove up to Stratford last night with the kids! I say kids they are 28 & 29 had a fab evening having a few beers and dinner.
Followed by Factory Visit this morning have to say we were treated like royalty and thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

Glad that you enjoyed your tour David.
It is certainly a wonderful experience to see the building, and how the cars are assembled.

Do you recall the name of your guide, and did you see any unusual cars? Sometimes there are some outrageous colours.

Out of interest how do you arrange factory visits ?

Can you go through Aston Martin direct or use the AMOC ?

Would love a tour around the facility.

They can be arranged through your dealer or via AMOC - but their visits are all sold out for this year.

We have done the tour about 5 times now and it is fantastic to see where the cars are built.

Our guide was Sally Day she has worked for the Company for 10 plus years in various roles and certainly knows the product and facilty inside out.
We didnt see anything out of the ordinary but they all looked pretty special!
Got invited on the tour after buying the car from Stratsones.

Well worth the visit.
