You need to contact Landrover Experience at Halewood which is literally just accross the road from the factory & speak to Danielle (normally) on 0151 448 4023. This would be arranged as a normal factory tour which is £45 per person. Sometimes your dealer will/can organise this depending on how helpfull they are and if you are lucky enough they may pay for it.
Either way you will require a number from the dealer which I think is known as the order code/order number as this will enable Danielle & the factory track the car on it's build day so you can meet the birth of your car at a certain place on the production line as obviously it being on a 3 mile long production line that is constantly moving it can be quite hard to be in the right place at the right time.
Hope this helps.

There is a good hotel just 2 miles up the road in Speke called The Crowne Plaza (Liverpool John Lennon) that we stayed in both times.

Many, many thanks!!!!! My RRE build day (I already know it) is the 13th of march. I will phone to Danielle in advance from Italy. I hope to find some bus or train from Liverpool otherwise I'll rent a car.................

Americano. I forgot to answer your question about the picture of my car. It is the real car not a generic vehicle but our own new car which by the look of your signature will be very similar to yours.

Congrats - and for those reading this there are more photos in the link which are worth a look - especially the factory build sheet!

I'm glad you said some dealers are aware.

When I said I was going to the factory to watch the car being built, he looked at me like I was daft and said can you do that!!

They are not exactly very pro active nor do they seem to know much about the product!

Dealer rang today to say the car should be there by Monday & sugested I take my 20" Style 7 wheels over so they can swap them over before the car goes to the bodyshop for the Red Accents!!
I will have a set of the 18inch wheels & tyres if anyone is interested.

I have been even in Japan to visit the Honda Factory in Hamamatsu near Kyoto (150 Km far) and I enjoied an unforgettable tour (for free!).
I'll post a pic from my home..............
Naturally i was there for tourism and not only for this porpose.......

Arrived at the dealer a day or so ago. I went there yesterday to change the grill & give them the 20" wheels, side tubes & mudflaps to fit & took a few photos while there!!

Looking good we have also ordered Barolo black with Couture/ cherry 3 door, good to see the car in the flesh

Very smart Andy
