Subaru's & Aston Martins - Prodrive Open Day

[djaphoto]

Prodrive, the guys behind Subaru's World Rally Championship car building and Aston Martins race series opened their gates to the public on the 14th-15h July 2007 in a fund raising event for the Oxford Childrens hospital.

Amazingly we saw the stages in which a Subrau shell goes from seam welding through to being fully fitted and ready for testing.

They also put on display some of the cars used in the James Bond movies, the owners kindly gave permission for them to be used for the day, they were the actual ones used in the filming

See some of my following images that I find my personal fav's and feel free to follow the link for all the action:
