Prodrive

Banbury was today's destination, where the technology and motorsport company Prodrive has its impressive headquarters located right beside the M40 motorway, looming on the left as you drive north.

It was the venue for this year's annual general meeting of the Guild of Motoring Writers, and afterwards we had a fascinating tour of the engineering centre. Prodrive has achieved great success in motor racing and rallying, including preparing Aston Martin's fabulous Le Mans cars.
