About the event

PLEASE NOTE: Places for this event are now filled. However please contact Douglas Wragg (dgwragg@tiscali.co.uk) or Mike Burdis (2newland7@gmail.com) to be put on the reserve list for this event.

Be part of a BMW Mini Plant tour and gain an insight into the production of the BMW Mini, from initial assembly and welding of the body shells, to installing the drivetrain and individual interior equipment on the assembly line.

Since production of the new Mini started in 2001, almost 3 million have been made at the Oxford Plant and as most of you will know, the plant has over a 100 years of automotive manufacturing history.

The tour is scheduled to start at 12:15 and is expected to last two and a half hours. For further information click here.

RSVP is required. Please contact Douglas Wragg using the details below or email Mike Burdis at 2newland7@gmail.com.
