Owner of the Aston Martin Workshop Bob Fountain 


Drove one of his most prized cars, the fully restored 1934 Aston Martin Lagonda, in the Peking to Paris Endurance Race. The race is the only transcontinental competition which covers the greatest distance between two capital cities and involves a 10-day stretch crossing Mongolia without any available fuel or water. It was also the 100 year anniversary of the race. 

Waved off from the Great Wall of China.

Bob & Joe looking tired!

In for a tune up & car wash.
