They are but they aren't if you get my meaning so its best to go Tues/Wed/Thurs. Mondays are horredously busy and Friday is a 12 pm finish.

Anyone who has not done this has missed out on a very interesting ( and free, when I went) visit. they take you round the whole factory, engines being built up, through the chassis jig section and into the moulds and GRP build. It is actually a trip back in time to how things used to be done yonks ago. Well worth it!

Are they OK about letting the general public in or do you have to be TVR owner / prospective owner?

Just tell them your thinking about buying one, they will pull you through the door!

I just turned up and asked, they said come back in an hour! took the whole family round with a couple of other guys. One bloke found his car being sprayed in the spray shop, said to the very nice! young man taking us roung, thats the colour mines going to be. Thats because thats your car sir, was the reply. He must of took a hundred pictures in 30 seconds!

That'd be the Morgan factory!
