British pair Richard Meredith and Phil Colley have driven an Aston Martin through a 10,000 mile journey in order to help raise awareness for road safety.
The Aston Martin V8 Vantage travelled from Tokyo to London along the Asian Highway network of Roads, ending its journey this Tuesday at the Intercontinental London Park Lane in London.
The journey has helped to raise money for UNICEF to help the charity organisation to provide road safety education for young children in China.
The drive, titled "Driving Home Road Safety 2007", was supported by the United Nations, the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) Foundation and UNICEF.
It was the first time anyone had travelled the full extent of the new Asian Highway road network.
The journey took 49 days and covered 18 countries, including Korea, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkey, Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovenia, Germany, France and ending up in the UK.
But the British driving duo pointed out that in the time that it took for them to complete the journey, an estimated 150,000 people will have been killed in the world's roads, including 25,000 children.
The Aston Martin used in the journey will now be auctioned and profits also donated to the UNICEF China Fund.
