Aston Martin Works: Keeping the Legacy Alive - /DRIVEN

[@nomadben]

Wow. I have a newfound respect for the company.

[@worldhello1234]

Respect Ali. :D

[@menoy36]

I have so much more respect for Aston having seen this (not saying I never had). Something truely beautiful - the passion they treat their heritage with. What a magnificent place..

[@trehsu]

This is one of the coolest car videos I've ever seen. That workshop is amazing.

[@randombloke10]

This is so beautiful, keeping all your cars maintained cost aside from anywhere in the world. I love seeing history being kept alive

[@EscortSportage]

Manual gearbox baby! Yes! Finally a company who understands the feeling and emotion of driving a car with a manual gearbox.

[@jjhoops023]

The beauty of that place brought me to tears. How far they go to rework and rebuild those cars and in such amazing quality... its absolutely breathtaking

[@3rdObstacle]

This was absolutely incredible. I have ALWAYS loved Aston's, and this just reaffirms my love for them. Thank you, J.F.

[@LiquidRetro]

Drive does it again, gets amazing access to tell an amazing story. Keep this up!

[@domsch1302]

Really nice to see a company taking care of there customers after they purchased their car. I have great respect for companies which take such an effort to maintain "old" cars. Not seen often today!

[@MrMillenium67]

This place is my heaven because I love Aston Martin cars. They are such beautiful, beautiful cars to look at and to drive. My dream is to be able to go here and pick up my own Aston Martin. Thank you Drive for the video.

[@ChristianStCyr-xu7pi]

This is some of the best content I have ever seen on KZbin. Truly excellent stuff.

[@cameronduplantier]

This years series has been incredible. Brilliant job JF. Best episode since the Mclaren one.

[@jodati]

I really enjoyed that. I love getting a glimpse of how these companies do things behind the door. I love the amount of dedication put into helping the car owners achieve what they want.

[@therealdiegoalunan]

Wow just wow! Im in awe! The amount of work and endless possibility in providing the outmost service and quality work is just impeccable! Ive always loved aston martins! This just made me even love them more! Great job!

[@captainchau20]

Their passion in keeping Aston's on the road seriously made my heart tremble with awe.

[@manni2]

Great episode. Every single car in this film is incredibly beautiful, what a heritage.

[@trinisuprazee]

i'm blown away by the quality of videos from this channel recently fantastic work

[@MiniOneSam]

I live just down the road from here and it truly is a work of art. We went in last year when they had a One-77 in the showroom. A guy in his early 20s with his mate, dressed in casual jeans and a t-shirt; they could have easily not looked at us twice. Instead they welcomed us in, and invited us to have a look round anything we wanted. THAT is why, when I have the money, they'll be one of the first to get some of it. Finally a video that does this awesome brand justice. Shame about the interview!

[@austineswann1]

I learn so much every episode Drive uploads. Thanks guys.

[@schmitty_luv]

Man this is one of the coolest shows you guys have made.

[@jadomi2076]

The man in charge knows his stuff. Very unassuming looking fella but boy, sure switched on. The interviewer looked like he was out of his leave a little

[@fathertime1331]

Oh, you're THAT guy.

[@bighands69]

99.9999% of people would be out of their depth in that workshop. Let us be honest.

[@johnnyboy1586]

Wow what customer service

[@Redspeed93]

I wish videos like this were longer. They are just so awesome! :D

[@LDN13Y]

Wow, this may be one of the best videos I have watched on KZbin. Seriously good work guys, please keep it up.

[@blindfire69]

This is a car owners dream as well as a mechanics paradise, Austin Martin your on the right track..thumbs up

[@daugbret]

This is just wonderful. A factory effort to keep their old classics going, modernized or not. Just great. It makes me want a DB9 even more knowing that when I've beat the crap out of it these guys will happily put it back together for me.

[@333pg333]

The manager of the retail/repair shop was very impressive. Knew all about each car they looked at. Didn't stumble or bumble when answering. Great workshop and amazing to see those old skills are still being employed today.

[@Cheese1master]

This was my favorite /drive video for months. Well done.

[@mrolskul]

Wow, amazing! I'm in awe of the attention to detail and craftmanship possed by the artisans at Aston Martin. I especially love the fact that not only will they do a frame-off restoration, they're not above personalizing a customer's car. Yes, one pays for that kind of service, however, how many collectors would kill for that option? It's like having your classic car roll of the assembly line again, in the color & w/the options of your choice. Simply awesome!

[@N54B30BMW]

Another great video! Fantastic visual, fantastic audio! These videos are the reason why I enjoy the drive channel so much. It has been made so carefully with so much attention to detail. oh btw JF: wear what whatever you want! As long as you continue to create videos like this you can even turn up naked...

[@andyplacek6981]

Old world craftsmanship keep the art alive I will never be able to afford a Aston but I do appreciate your teams work

[@hlad11]

I find the heritage arms of major manufacturers more interesting that their normal modern operations. Liking this video alot!

[@Lenoch_]

There's no other word for this than dazzling. Absolutely dazzling.

[@dar2740]

I would love to see all these factory videos have longer directors cut, I could watch these for hours.

[@nblax41]

He's one of the founders of the channel, he can look like and say whatever he wants. I feel most of us enjoy his relaxed attitude towards the way he does interviews and tours.

[@caf0011]

Impressive. Arguably the best looking model lines in the world. Thanks for the behind the scenes insight. Very customer oriented. Still gotta pay to play baby!!!!

[@qua77ro]

Great behind the scenes look. Appreciate you guys bringing us this content. Keep it up!

[@megakid2k]

Unbelievable. I own a DB9 and this has blown me away. I'm keeping it forever.

[@nzdatsports9659]

i am shocked and amazed !! gotta love that factory back up . that is un heard of. just plain brilliant

[@trevorwray]

Loving these vids DRIVE!!!!!! I am an engineer/auto tech so I love to see all these different workshops.

[@jordananker3129]

Real enjoyed this video. Love Aston Martin and this really gave me an insight into how they work. Would love to see more. Hands down best drive episode.

[@nastraightsix]

First: Everyone, watch this on an HD screen with surround sound. The sounds of the factory tools and the amazing music truly are the best I have encountered in a long while. JF and William, you guys really out did yourselves on this video! Second: Who else would be willing to start a kick starter for converting Matt Farah’s Vanquish into a manual ^_^ ? Hope to see you guys at MoSport where I shall be sporting my brand spanking new /Drive t-shirt! Cheers

[@Jesusmakesmelovelife]

Great episode. Very impressive to see a company not "just" restore and fix old cars but build from scratch a chassis or color change a car. And JF, I like the shoes sir.

[@bradleygodbold]

This is how you put the customer first, it's beautiful what this company do.

[@bounceeer]

thank you so much Drive! i love Astons with my heart and soul and this was a beautiful video!

[@rjs15570]

Great episode and production. Amazing amount of commitment and fabrication in an era of the disposable car.

[@kafercrazy]

wow! these factory videos are awesome, just wish they could be longer.

[@gokarter28]

Am I the only guy with a lot more respect for aston martin now? I really like the fact that they will go to great length to please the customer, and give new life to their cars. The manual transmission to the V12 vantage was very impressive

[@964rsracing]

Amazing how the work with these cars. Every floor so clean etc. Just amazing

[@ghettoflyer]

JF I like these specialties car makers "mini series" Driven is doing now. Focusing on specific brands with many installments showcasing points of interest and forward thinking in the industry. I hope these will continue in the years to come.

[@nastraightsix]

Absolutely! Now knowing this, I truly appreciate the work that goes on in their factory to an indescribable degree.

[@CedricH2]

Fantastic video! These factory tours are really awesome

[@chaoticdog85]

Great video.. I love the factory tours the best of any segment on drive

[@RoboTekno]

The workshops themselves are amazing to look at, let alone the cars that come out of them. Great interview :)

[@TheVancen]

Those V8 Vantages are probably one of the best looking cars ive ever seen.

[@y0r00]

Drive this is your best youtube vid to date....AMAZING!

[@Rahhhhhnman]

They provide all levels of service, what a place.

[@sjt959]

Wonderful to see inside the building I drive past each day.

[@indsimracer86]

Astom Martins are the best looking cars there are... you can just look at one forever without getting bored... beautiful....

[@TimSmalleyPhoto]

I've always dreamed of owning an Aston. I still hope one day I get to do just that. Amazing video.

[@MinaBassilious]

Fantastic video. Huge respect for the people that work there.

[@Boltius]

The moment I am trully glad I'm subscribed to "drive".

[@rare6499]

I love aston martin. Maybe one day I will own one. What a brand, what a name!

[@Passulj]

Amaizing. I watched first 3 min of the video more than 100 times

[@wrighttool]

Holy Aston Martin that was bad ass! have a whole new respect for them now.

[@BIBILOUK]

5.50 ! Love the fact that when that v12 wakes up in the back ground, you feel the 'groowwllll' make the earth shakes under their feet but "hey guys keep talking" :D

[@ODIOPOWER]

this place is the heaven's car! Incredible, great video, tnx DRIVE!

[@miuraesse4511]

I used to organise this with the factory at Mercedes-Benz. Customers getting the car they bought in the 70's, 80's or newer models getting updated or restored at the factory. The personalisation is the nice part, seeing a car change over its lifetime with its owner. You might not like the look of the latest model, but can pick or choose the new gadgets on the latest car to have in your old car or matching an entire car leather interior from a handbag the customer bought from her collection.

[@benpacey7000]

I live in Newport Pagnell right next door to Aston Martin works!!

[@Tommie_doyle]

this could have been 3 hours long and i would have enjoyed every second off it drive keep up the outstanding work

[@Jimmmmaye]

I have so much respect for Aston Martin right now

[@thebeardedonecampos]

Simply amazing factory that performs some absolutely crazy installs, right hand drive to left hand drive! Ridiculous amount of reengineering needs to be done. Also beautiful song that starts off in the background at 10:07

[@Elevatorlake]

Fantastic video, love it! I agree with previous comments that it would be even better with an "extended version" of like 30mins with even more nerdy stuff doe us who can't get enough of it

[@estewar03]

Great job JF, this was really fun to watch...

[@usergt3540r]

wowwww what a workshop!!! such craftsmanship and detail! love it!!!

[@omfgwtfbbq90]

I've always had a weak spot for the Aston Martin V12 Vantage, but after seeing this, I want it even more now!

[@shintsu01]

i am really impressed by the service they provide! Great workshop they got there :D

[@sc4recrow1]

This workshop really seems like a dream come true...

[@athelton]

I have an old 37' Lagonda that my father bought a long time ago, I was collecting information on doing a restoration on it. I'm not rich but I was like what the hell I'll send them some pics and see if they can help me. The VP of Aston Martin Heritage North America emailed me and was cool as hell, not snobby at all. Gave me all kinds of advice, I was very very impressed.

[@Rtcmanga_YouTube_Channel]

Awesome!! Incredible what kind of jobs they do!! Now I am even more fascinated by Aston Martin!! :D

[@mphking2539]

Doing my work experience here in January 2015, can't wait!! :)

[@IDiedForYou1776]

wow JF you made me rethink Aston Martin

[@EmoryJacob]

I'm really glad that I found this video.

[@Saugusari11]

service is impecable,but what really fascinated me was that guy who got interviewed,so strict and firm yet so polite and helpful! Never says anything overboard nor does he let himself get mixed up in questions in addition he clearly just loves what he does and he loves that place...that guy just amazed me(im male and im not gay :P )

[@lotusgav]

DRIVE does it again - good job guys, bloody marvellous video... Just wish I had the money...

[@Samael78]

I've got those shoes, they're alright by me. Although maybe a more subtle colour might have worked better with the shirt! However, let's not detract from the quality of the video which was top notch. I could have listened to that guy for hours and the workmanship involved is simply amazing. Keep it up!

[@Wonderboy46UK]

One of the best Drive videos yet. I know it's extremely unlikely, but I would love to see a similar video inside Ferrari.

[@weinerman]

I second many of the other comments here related to poor job by the host. I would also like to add: how about getting some pants that fit and a pair of reasonable shoes? Were you not aware they would be recording video for this feature?

[@muziqman100]

Very cool vid guys. Awesome to see the lengths to which Aston will go to make a customer happy. I'd guess thats one of the main reasons they are still around... besides building beautiful cars.

[@nassar8]

man, i absolutely loved this episode. fantastic stuff as usual JF. as a side note, i live and study about 5 minutes away from Newport Pagnell, would have loved to sit down for a few pints with you /Drive guys!

[@iaian001]

Amazing work jf. Thanks to you and your team.

[@pontiacfoo]

Awesome episode! Keep these coming JF!

[@Levent_Ergun]

this is why i always respect aston martin more than other car makers

[@warpmonkey]

This video makes me want to drive Aston Martins forever.

[@strek0655]

FANTASTIC VIDEO SERIES!

[@Gltokensp06]

This is the EPITOME of what a luxury car company should be. Bespoke and breathtaking stuff guys.

[@kewl10mac]

I don't know if you guys read these comments but awesome video. This, McLaren, koenigsegg factory tours have been awesome. Still wana see JF rip a skid!

[@TheAmazingMrMcFlyy]

that has to be one of the most beautiful places in the world imo

[@az9836352673]

Huge respect for what they do there

[@TheBairuike]

It's not the red, it's the red sneakers, the hands are in the trouser pockets.... generally these things are no problems, but standing next to a very polite Englishman from Aston Martin, these things just stand out. Still an awesome job, I really appreciated your work, keep it going :)

[@feagansful]

simply amazing look into what Aston Martin really is!
