    Went on a tour of Prodrive this afternoon - pic heavy

    Forgot any sort of decent camera unfortunately so these are all I have. Saw lots of Astons, some Minis including Dani Sordo's fresh back from Portugal, plus some of their classic stuff, including the white M3 pictured which is one of a pair which were recently found in a lockup in Russia, £160,000 asking price! Some serious brake porn etc:

        Those huge carbon brakes are on a stripped down Lola which one of Prodrive's drivers recently bought! They wouldn't fit in pocket else they'd be on the S2.

            I don't understand why Prodrive have a BAR or Honda F1 car.... There's a link between BAR and Subaru through being sponsored by 555 but prodrive didn't handle any F1 team operations.

              Dave Richards was Team Principle of BAR before Honda came on board, when they bought a stake part of the deal was that Honda took over running from Prodrive. We were told they gave him an old car to put on display which must've been nice!

                Yeah very nice of them! Did you happen to get any more pictures of the Subaru rally cars? All I can see is from two pics where there are two - an Impreza and that gorgeous Legacy - in the background

                  No, afraid not. They had Burns' championship winning one, Macrae's constructors championship winning car and one of the original Legacy's from Subaru's early days.

                  Won't be forgetting my camera next time! The Blackberry ran out of battery half way through else there'd be more & better pics.

                  Here's someone else's pics I found through google:







                  They let you sit in all the cars which they own which is pretty cool, it's unbelievably tight getting in and out of some of them with the cages.

                    That 22b is lovely. Would definitely be able to find space for one of those in my garage!
