Factory tours

[Coobie]

I am heading across the pond in July and was wondering if anyone knew if the AM factory has resumed tours? I am doing the driving experience at Millbrook and would like to see about adding a tour on another day of my trip. The gentleman who I set up Millbrook with was unsure.

Not sure about AM but I was at the MacLaren technology centre earlier this week and they were doing tours. Had to show proof of vaccine and wear masks but they did allow us into the car factory although due to Covid we couldn’t go into the F1 part. Did manage to chat to the team principal in the foyer and see Daniel Ricardo walk by.

They're a friendly bunch, I'm sure if you reached out as AM owner they'd be more than happy to sort a tour for you.

AMOC were doing tours for members, but they had to refund the bookings made ref. pandemic.
I have not heard anything about restarting the tours.

Perhaps you could try showing interest, in buying a couple of Valhallas for your collection. -

I bought a car 2 months ago and they said they would give me a factory tour when they resume (i.e. they hadn't at that point).

I would wager that with the '23 refresh of the Vantage, DB11, DBS order books likely opening this fall, that they're already changing up the production line/processes. Probably already producing test mules/prototypes. I doubt we see any tours happen until they do the reveal of these updated cars.

For anyone interested I found out today from my dealer that all factory tours are still suspended for the foreseeable future. Not sure what the foreseeable future means, but I am going to London in July so at least that long.
