On a recent visit back to the mother country I visited the Aston Workshop set in lovely countryside near Durham. It's a fantastic facility with all manner of gorgeous Aston and other automotive art on display (for sale or undergoing restoration). As well as the cars, the people there are really friendly and accommodating, and after a tour you can pop next door to the The Black Horse for a pie and a pint!

Wish I was closer to the the place - loads to see. Thaks for the pictures!

Mmm, pie...

 

Wow - thanks for sharing. That looks like a really interesting place. Love the classics.

Slightly off-topic: Does anyone know if they do "tours" at the Gaydon factory in Warwickshire or if you can come see the production line there? I am going back to Europe this summer to visit friends and family and could work that into my itinerary if such options exist.

 

Beautiful pics/cars. Thanks for posting.

 

According to the vast majority of folks on the PistonHeads forum, the answer is definitely yes. Do a search there.

Would love to visit the Mothership when I am there also.

 

Very nice, Thanks for sharing the pics with us.
