After its a short ride to the Mini Plant Oxford for our Factory Tour. The tours last approx 2.5 hours and will include quite a lot of walking inside and out.
Gain insight into the automotive production during the guided plant tour.
Experience the production of MINIs, from the welding of steel parts into
car bodies to the individual interior equipment in the assembly.
Plant Oxford is the birthplace and heart of MINI
production. Manufactured to individual customer specifications, hundreds
of MINIs leave the plant’s assembly lines each day, off to meet new
owners in more than 110 countries around the world.
Three UK plants have had a part to play in MINI production – Plant
Hams Hall makes engines, Plant Swindon produces body pressings and
sub-assemblies for MINI, 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”.
