Vantage World Tour Crosses Australia
Father and son Phil and Will Churchill, and their trusty Aston Martin V8 Vantage have just covered 3,500 miles from Sydney to Perth as part of their ongoing Vantage World Tour.
The Churchill’s 11-day Antipodean adventure saw them lap the legendary Mount Panorama circuit at Bathurst and cross the desolate Nullabor Plain, taking in Australia’s longest straight road, the 90 Mile Straight.
On this stage of the journey the Aston Martin’s odometer ticked over 250,000 km (155,000 miles) and marked its 33rd country as the car had previously been deployed by Aston Martin on a number of international adventures. In the Churchill’s hands it has covered 21,500 miles and visited 16 countries so far, with the journey set to continue later in the year.
Phil and Will have been fitting their epic drive into manageable two-week chunks to fit in with Will’s university schedule and Phil’s work commitments. The duo have also raised over £33,000 so far for the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM). You can donate at https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/vantageworldtour
The next leg of the Vantage World Tour will take the Churchills and their Aston Martin to India and Nepal, and, as always, we’ll be reporting back on their progress.
