Yes I searched the threads but most pointed to a dealer invite. When I first purchased mine I took it to my local (3 hour drive away) dealer. That was two years ago. Since then I've had it services locally. So I'm not getting much of a response from the dealer. I'm going to be over from the 12th to the 17th. Whole family along with brother and his family. We're planning on renting a van to drive out to Stonehenge and I figured could use it to get to factory also. There are only 4 of us in the group interested in a tour. Yes, two dads and the two boys. Can anyone point me in a direction as to where/who to inquire.
Much appreciated.

Hi,
I emailed Factory.Tours@astonmartin.com and explained to them that I bought my DB9 privately but could they still arrange a tour for me. It was no problem and a date was duly arranged, there was only my mate and I so we had the tour guide to ourselves. A fascinating few hours and now would love to order a new car and see it in production.
Good luck,
Geoff.

Did that. Emailed Katie Tobin, Factory Tours Coordinator, earlier in the year and was redirected to get in contact with dealer. I emailed her again two days ago explaining my situation and haven't heard back yet.

We had a lovely tour around the workshops/back rooms at Pagnell -- Milton Keynes behind the Dealer there.
Like wow - wow and wow again. Saw 2 DB5's up close and a variety of other fantastic dream cars. Will remember for the rest of my life !!! just omg WOW. Had a test drive of a db9 for sale there and the dealer kindly gave a tour.
ps like WOW whats stunning cars
Perhaps book a trip there and ask nicely?

What sort of price are these tours? Just bought an 06 Vantage and being from an engineering background taking my dad on a trip round the factory would be good day out for us both.

My tour was free, literally just emailed them and was sorted.
Just don't wait too long to look into it. With some assistance I finally got to the right person but was told they were already booked for the dates I'm going to be in England.
Disappointed doesn't even come close.
I've read threads that speak of Aston Martin Works. Is this an Aston sanctioned shop or private venture? Do you think I might bother them for a walk around?

Works is the old Newport-Pagnell site where most of the DB cars were built, so a major history trip
It's also now an Aston Martin dealership but that is completely understating it. Viewing the cars they have their is a real eye-opener (expect one-77s, classics, zagatos).
A great alternative to Gaydon

+1 - I've not been myself but as I understand it Aston Martin Works is in effect the factory's own dealership (as Rob says located at the site of the old factory), plus the official AM historic renovation centre all rolled into one.It's also now an Aston Martin dealership but that is completely understating it.
