ASCARI factory tour & meet - Monday, March 27th - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

Ashok Arora · 3rd February 2006, 14:24

I have arranged for a private tour of the Ascari factory for M5board members for Monday, March 27th. Apologies in advance, but they are closed on weekends so it has to be a Monday. Worth taking a day off however IMHO.

The plan is to meet at the factory at 11am when we be given a brief history of the company and then taken on a tour of their facilities. We will get to see these exclusive supercars including the KZ1 and new A10, both powered by M5 derived engines.

After the tour, we plan to meet for lunch around 1pm at the local Whately Hall hotel:

Numbers are limited to 12 persons, so please sign up asap to ensure your place on this very special 'behind the scenes' tour.

Please reply to this post if you are interested - I look forward to seeing you on the day

The factory is located in Banbury, Oxfordshire (just off the M40 J11).
