For anyone who's not already aware, Prodrive are offering tours of their Banbury works during November in aid of Children In Need.
Tours last two hours and are only
£20 per person!

I think that this is a fantastic way to raise money for an excellent cause, and says a lot about the people down at Prodrive.
I'm booked on one already, and I can't wait!!
Prodrive are also auctioning off a load of rally bits and pieces, including a WRC spoiler, bumper, door and even Solberg's boots!!

You of course will be treated to great tour
but you will also presented with a Subaru keepsake and Prodrive litrature
I have been lucky enough to go the Banbury tour and the Warwick site 3 times ( PPP, Prodrive Live and Dealer's day). Prodrive's curtousy is second to none
So book up early to avoid disappiontment
IMHO AFAICR etc.

As far as I know, there were still places free this morning, however I do know that places are filling up quickly.
Send another email to pudsey@prodrive.com and see what he can do for you!

Am booked in but now my 6 year old can't come (age limit is 11 YO).
They say that they can do smaller tours during weekdays for kiddies though.
