Factory Tour

Hi all,

God I'm excited!!!! I have ordered my Evoque, due for build Dec, but couldn't wait, so I booked to have a factory tour with the Land Rover Experience Team at Halewood.

What can I say but superb!! The factory is amazing, from start to finish. Great to see all the new Evoques, colours, styles etc. I went out with a couple that had traveled all the way over from Austraila to see the factory, their build date was Jan 2012, quite a trip but it confirmed all their thoughts, how they are going to wait till March for delivery I don't know???? The guys and girls there were most friendly and knew lots about the cars.

I had a demonstration drive afterwards around their track, the obstacles are very technically challenging, more than other experiences I have been on before. Sadly I was not in an Evoque though, they are awaiting their delivery too, LR meeting the customer demand before the internal requirments apparantly. Soon as they have I'm going back!!!

If you ain't been, get there, thats all I can say!

RE: Factory Tour

That Australian couple you went with might also be members of the forum - EVOQUE U was also going to the factory recently during a visit to the UK

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

RE: Factory Tour

Hi Evo L538,

We visited the factory last wednesday and had the best time, our order also has been placed for Jan 2012 build with march delivery, how funny is it that you did your tour with another couple from Aus with the same build and delivery date as us.

It's great that you had a great time as we did at the factory, staff were so friendly, helpful and made it a most memorable experience. It still blows me away seeing each car going through the build process, seeing our exact order sitting on the factory floor and opening the door and seeing the interior in person was great. We have not seen the Evoque in person until this trip only in pictures on the net

Might be worth checking some of the other LRE Centres, some of them have certainly got Evoque's already.
