Halewood - Discovery Sport - Factory Tour

I am gauging interest and opinions at this time.
First of all what time of year? I have added a sign up and we can go from there, if there is an equal split then its quite possible I could do two tours.
In either case a Friday afternoon would be the best option.

Opinions welcome Thumbs Up

Information received from LR, it does not include a demo drive, just a factory tour.

Experience Tour

Monday - Friday 09:00hrs or 13:00hrs
Duration: approximately 3 hours

Get an in depth look into vehicle manufacturing at Halewood, Liverpool whilst viewing first-hand
the latest manufacturing facilities and methods. Halewood is the birthplace of the Range Rover
Evoque, as well as The New Land Rover Discovery Sport.
Follow every process of its manufacture from start to finish. Marvel whilst sheet metal is put
under huge pressure and formed into familiar body panels, then move forward to the sea of
robots in body construction and onwards into the interior fitting and final assembly points.
Witness the finished vehicles before the cars are transported to their new owners, wherever in
the world. Along every section of the tour a knowledgeable tour guide will explain, in detail
every process taking place and be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.
Enjoy refreshments before and after your tour and relax in our welcoming environment and
Land Rover Gear shop.
Cost per person £45 (inc VAT)

Can do the same for Cheshire/Wales folk. Park in Birkenhead and quick trip through the Mersey Tunnel.

Looking at the way the voting is going, it would seem in the New Year would be more widely accepted, with this in mind I would think end of Feb/early March is probably a good time with peples post Xmas finances?

I have also asked LR to come up with a lunch and demo drive as we have had before.
