Heading to UK next week...is it possible to take tours of Mini factory in Oxford?

I'm going to be heading over to the UK next week for a job interview and have some extra time. I was wondering if anyone knew whether you could get a tour of the Mini factory in Oxford? Thanks!

tour

You have to have a reservation to take the tour. It took three months for me with the help of my MA to get a reservation for two. Good luck!!!!!!!

Hello! I was there last year. I was visiting my relatives in London, and on a last minute whim, I called the factory for a tour the next day for 3 of us. They said "no problem", they can add us to another group......because of a traffic accident I was 1/2 hr late and they still let us in. Highly recommended!! FYI - no photos allowed inside the factory.
