We remain squarely in the honeymoon phase of the new Aston Martin, but so far things appear to be positively glowing with action items showering down over the Cotswolds.
When we spoke with the Aston people during their DBS drive event last October, the subject of the new design studio came up only by accident, and it felt more like a yurt raising among villagers than a major extravaganza for the foreign press. They were unsure whether or not they would even celebrate the opening of the facility, saying they would probably have a small party and we could come if we found our own way there. When we later followed up on the status of it all, this scrape-it-together wee party had ballooned into the largest gala event Gaydon’s horsey set will ever see.
