RE: Factory Visit

I called into the Visitor experience office at Halewood today and there is a White dynamic coupe in the reception area that gave me my first chance to see the car.

Lots of Evoques driving around the perimeter roads and I was given the expected welcome from security as I dared to look through the fence. Couldn't see any Ipanemas but did think the Kosrae Green looked ok

Nick@LR - you might want to look into some Customer Service Training/awareness for the security up there. Totally unnecessary bad experience!

RE: Factory Visit

Maybe the security guards are more used to having to deal with some of the "locals" rather than those from further afield Acwats

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 Visit

Post above :

I went down when the experience center was closed , they let me in to have a look at the White car. I also got to play with the super meridian audio system & the twin view tv system.
They were very welcoming.

Also had a good look through the fence in the different compounds, no security in sight.

If security had give me a hard time it would certainly of put me off ordering.
I expect all members that represent a brand to be respectful to customers.

The guys at the Visitor Centre were very welcoming as you say Jonathon
Trying to upload a photo that I "wasn't allowed to take"

The Kosraoe Green is at the back of the group of 4 cars in the foreground (3 behind the "grey" one)
