You may recall the robbery they had there a couple of years ago when a lot of the heavy machinery was stolen. The local BBC news did a small report and a video was posted on the internet. It showed some of the factory areas - not very exciting and was like any dingy backstreet garage albeit with expensive cars being hand built.
I can understand why they don't show people around as it won't meet some people's expectations, especially when you compare it to the sterile production facilities at Rolls Royce etc.
From Google Earth it does look like a warehouse - I think a cherry red Blenheim is parked next to a disabled parking space outside. What ever happened to those low 30's buildings you used to see pictures of new 412's and 603's parked outside - it looked like it needed a lick of paint in those 1970's photos? Have they relocated entirely to this warehouse?
