Overview
A visit to the BMW Mini factory where you will see the very latest in automated car assembly. We split into two groups for the tour which lasts about 2 ½ hrs and you will be taken round by an expert guide. BMW group Plant Oxford is the birthplace and heart of MINI production. Three UK plants have had a part to play in MINI production and all this comes together at Plant Oxford with body shell production, paint and final assembly. Since production of the new MINI started in 2001, almost 3 million cars have been made at Plant Oxford. But the plant’s heritage goes back much further than that – it is a site with 100 years of automotive manufacturing history, which has become a landmark in the “city of dreaming spires”. Important information regarding BMW Mini Plant Tour: If you have a pacemaker fitted or use an insulin pump you will not be able to visit the body shop section of the tour. Tours are over the lunch period so we will stop at Motorway Services so you can get some refreshments or you may prefer to bring a picnic to eat on the coach. We will make a stop on the homeward journey.
