Morgan Car Factory Tour

Although not cheap, this is a must for anybody with even a passing interest in cars. The tour takes you on a guided walk around the factory with a knowledgeable guide who explains what is going on. Although it is of course very safe, you are up close to the actual manufacturing process, with craftsmen/women and engineers often stopping what they are doing to have a friendly chat or explanation as to their work. Morgans are special, and seeing the combination of traditional methods and cutting edge technology is not to be missed.

The Morgan Factory visit is one like no other. A cross between a garage, a carpentry shop and an upholsterers there is not a robot to be seen. A few historic cars sit in the foyer whetting your appetite for the tour ahead. Inside it is truly like stepping back into the past. Everything hand crafted. Ash frames created and constructed in the old fashioned way. Body work shaped on an “English Wheel” in a workshop equiped to die for. Rolling chassis are taken across the “road” to another building for paintwork. Then over to the trimmers before a test drive and final fettle. So British.
