I'm lucky enough that I have been around the body and paint shop. Some very cool stuff there.

He mentions once in the video a guy called Kingsley. That is my brothers best friends dad which is how I got to see around. He is the head guy there.

Its a cool place to drive past (very local) but on the other side of the road is where they used to do half of it then push the car over the road to complete. Would be cool to see that made into something but doubt it will be.

That was a good watch, been and looked around both as my dad was based at the old site until being re located. The new site is seriously impressive, went to look around the production line when his Virage he ordered was being built. Really cool and interesting to see it all, had loads of those little robot karts going round that follow there lines in the floor to each area of the production line.

Would love to work there, just across from his office was a balcony and below it there is a row of Astons from old to new models. There is a shot of them in that film. Amazing to see some originals next to the new modern day cars. The whole place is a work of art.

I used to work at the hotel just down the road from there in Newport Pagnell and used to drive past everyday. Saw some awesome stuff. A lot of customers used to stay at the hotel too and we regularly had some nice examples in the carpark.
