United-States MINI Factory Tour

Does anyone know if you are allowed to take a tour of the MINI factory. I would love to come over for a visit this summer and wish to find out if this is possible. Has anyone taken such a tour. Would a Yank be welcome?
Please advise.

I'm just organising a trip there following the idea coming up on a MINI meet.

They are starting in May and run twice daily. We are probably going in June but if you can't make it with us email oxford.plant-tours@bmwgroup.com and I'm sure they'll be as helpful as they were with me.

I appreciate your rapid response to my post. Would you be so kind as to passing along the details of the trip that your group is planning? Again, thanks for your help.

I'd put a link on here but I'm hopeless with that kind of thing!

There is a thread on Social and region specific- Uk entitled MINI Goes Home - Factory Tour.

Hope you can make it.

I sense a deal with my wife on our next trip to England. I get the MINI factory tour, she gets the Cadbury factory tour.

That's what I'd call a win-win situation
