Looks an interesting visit. I know Morgan's do factory visits, perhaps a venue for a South Midlands meet Vic?
Do we know how many cars are coming out of that facility?
Are the chassis welded at the site and the GRP bodies aid up there as it looks very spacious and clean compared with he photos I've seen of the Gilbern factory.
Having worked in the motor industry I've seen the changes that occur when for example, steel bodied cars are replaced with aluminium monocoques/bodies and obviously its 30+ years since the Gilbern factory was in production so perhaps its just the general 'elf & safety brigade who are responsible for the improvements.
Regards,
Derek
