The Prince of Wales goes for a spin at Aston Martin
The Prince of Wales test drives Aston Martin’s new luxury SUV at the car maker’s factory in St Athan, near Barry in Wales. The heir to the throne arrived at the Aston Martin Lagonda plant in his DB6 Mark 2 Volante, which he purchased in November 1970. The vehicle was converted to run on E85 bioethanol made from by-products of the wine and cheese industries in 2008. After arriving, Charles got into the driver’s seat of a red DBX – costing from £158,000 – and took it for a 15-minute test drive on the Aston Martin site. In a speech to staff, he said: “It is a particular pleasure to be able to visit an Aston Martin factory like this having been a very devoted member of the Aston Martin drivers’ club for the last 50 years or more.
