Visit to the Aston Workshops
Tue, Sep 10th 2013 at 4:00 pm - 12:00 am
A group of twenty enjoyed a guided tour of the Aston Workshops at Beamish seeing some wonderful cars, some in pristine condition and some under the process of restoration. Afterwards we enjoyed an excellent meal at the Black Horse.
Aston Workshop was established by Bob Fountain in 1988. This specialist car sales and restoration company grew out of Bob's personal interest in restoring Aston Martin cars to the highest possible specifications. The business started in Bob's barn and is now a specialist service restoration and sales facility with a world-wide reputation for excellence.
All in all, an incredible place to visit and one which has to be seen to be believed, Aston Workshop is tucked away in the Durham countryside, almost hidden from view, yet providing one of the world's most comprehensive facilities for restoring some of David Brown's finest creations. A business whose reputation has grown by word of mouth, Aston Workshop has became synonymous with superb craftsmanship, together with the production of impeccably restored Aston Martin cars.
The Black Horse, which is also owned by Bob, provided suitable refreshment after the tour and the event raised
