Nice one mate. I've been wanting to do this too but do you need to get the permission from Prodrive to do so?

Cheers guys.

I went down for one of the tours they do for charity and thought it would be rude not to get a pic of the car out front Was a very interesting three hour gig and we got given an official merch Solberg cap and brochure to take away too Fantastic for £20!

Sorry for the ignorance but what's actually involved in the tour and do they only do so many a month ?

Will have to check the website out methinks !

The factory tours are very rare to come by, they only do them once or twice a year and you see everything, even cars in development, this is where the camera restrictions are in place as you'd expect.

renny, as Bullitt_Rich says they take you around pretty much the whole place from the Heritage Museum with the Chairman's car collection to the CNC shop. You get to touch and poke and prod most things and can take photos in most places.

They have in one of only three existing next years imprezas as a WIP WRC car! It was hidden though and we just got teased with being told it was behind the screen but we couldn't look

The tour is a fund raiser to help raise money for a new wing at the Oxford Childrens Hospital. More here prodrive

Cheers

Molds
