Has anyone done this? Thought it would be cool to go visit and maybe see my mini getting made! Looks like a decent tour by the sounds of it!

Went a couple of times, its a great thing to do. The guides are very knowledgable and if you haven't seen a modern car plant before it will amaze you with the amount of automation

My wife booked me in for my 50th birthday early Aug and also let me buy a car. Hope to see it being made since delivery is stated as being mid to late August.EXCITED.

I've been on it once, and it was a great tour. You can't go into the paint shop (to avoid contamination) but you do get to see the robots building the bodies and get taken along the production line. You'll see the initial start of the line, the windscreens and engines going in and also the end of the line, where they're filling the car with fluids and driving it off the production line.

They give you a set of headphones with a mic, so you can hear the guide and ask questions.

I'm going again on the 11th of August and again in October.

You'll get used to GK7. You'll soon realise he's slightly deluded and thinks all Mini's should be Volcanic Orange!

My first choice was grey, my second choice was white silver.

How many times........I was overruled!

Volcanic Orange was a never a choice for me

 

[MJCW]

those brighter vibrant colors are harder to adjust to, some of them i like, but the more simple colors are easier to decide on.

So you're obsessed with VO then!

Obsessed for not wanting it - why because it's such a ray of sunshine you could do without?

And my first choice was Thunder Grey also - but I bottled - it looked too mauve in some pics. So happy within my black.
