Yes it's on the Industrial Estate called "Hams Hall" just North of Coleshill.
It's well signposted from the M42.
A fairly simple address to get to for most People living in the Midlands Area.
Tours are only possible during normal Working hours though, however they do seem to be popular.

I have set these up as a poll so everyone can express their interest in these events. You can vote on multiple events but I would recommend voting for your top 3 maybe? My vote has been cast.

Old Grumpy's in major sulking mode now.
2 suggestions & both off the Board.
Yup, have to admit I'm crap at good ideas

Got to admit that I'd like a go at the Scalectrix thingy though.
Oh dear when this Acne dissapears I suppose I'll have to start shaving.
Growing up is so hard.

John,
I have been off the grid for a day or two and have just read your comment re the BMW engine plant at Hams Hall. CJ is correct my factory is in Station Road Coleshill and if, given your influence with BMW you can organise a site visit I would be very interested. Also, if it helps I am happy to organise a drink and nibbles afterwards at my factory to talk Lotus!!.
As you know road access is easy just off M42 and M6 J4

Best wishes & have a Very Merry Christmas

ps I have plenty of room for a Scalextric event....alas no Scalextric

A shame we never met up whilst I was so close to your Factory.
Ref: Scalextric; give Cap'n Slow (James May) a call, he has enough track to go around Brooklands
