So I've just been emailed my chassis number of my car due for build v soon. We are at the factory next Thursday on the tour. Will I see it being built. Excitement.

I went on the tour with my VIN number... but my car wasn't built for another two weeks.

You should tell the tour guys when you arrive as they can check if it's on the line or not.

Enjoy the tour - it's well worth the time & effort.

Premier Inn just over the road - ideal place to stay

When I went there were a few MINI T shirts being worn in the hotel

Question can you shop on the tour ? Accessories etc... If so what are the prices like ? Same as dealer ?

Mini should have a program where you locals can actually pick your car up at the factory.

There's a shop right by where the tour starts and ends. However, if you do a 6pm tour as I did, the shop will be shut when the tour finishes.
