I've got them all in high-res and will keep them on disk for a week, so if you want any then let me know.

I was there on Monday too. It was good to see inside Prodrive but I couldn't help wondering what was under all the covers and in the buildings that we didn't get inside. I was also surprised how few museum cars Prodrive have. At Williams there are row after row of old GP cars. Guess Williams don't need the money that they could raise from selling all their old cars.

as they said ... they recycle wrc for customer cars, so i guess there's just a massive parts bin and they only keep the odd significant car. it didn't look like petter's GB car was for keeping !!

You are right - I spoke to the guy who took us round and Petter's car or at least the parts will be reused and / or sold on.

Cool

Do they do any work at Prodrive? It all looks a bit to tidy to me.

we weren't allowed to take pics of the workshops where they work on wrc internals, that was spotless ... i asked same question and he said they keep it clean all day long ... i guess if you are hand building £300k cars you have to.
