Cosworth Factory tour

[350matt]

Hello All

not quite sure I've put this in the right section but this is a post to ask if there would be any interest in a Factory tour around my place of work?

Cosworth has been around for 60 years and I've worked there for over 20 so I've got permission to show a small group round the place?

probably take about 40 mins or so and it would be either lunchtime ( 12-1pm) or after hours ( post 4.30pm) during a weekday

any takers ?

Cosworth Ltd
The Octagon,
St. James Mill Rd,
Northampton,
NN5 5RA, UK

one thing to be aware of is the visitors car park at the front is often full ( due to staff being lazy) so you may have to park around the back , which is the 1st turning on the right after the reception

Do you have a date in mind and where is the location please? pending travel and date I would like to come.

[SprintRX8]

Interested depending on date.

Thanks
Phill.

[350matt]

Well I can do any date really and location will be on site in Northampton ( NN5 5RA)

I'm guessing if folks would like to hear an engine running ( probably GMA V12 or Valkerie) then will need to do in works hours ?

[ChrisHolmes]

I will be working not a million miles from Northampton from sept 26th. So that is a possibility.

Also would this be a 1 time thing? Im sure the small team of aircraft engineers I will be working with would also enjoy a visit if possible, and perhaps we could return the favour in kind with you visiting out toys?

That would be amazing, count me in please. I can do most weekdays except for Thursdays (not expecting you to plan it around me, if it ends up being a Thursday then I won't be bitter!).

Moved to the correct section of the forum

Also may well be interested in going too

Blimey we only talked about this at the Pond House, count me in and preferable the midday time so we can hear an engine on the dyno.
Thanks in advance for a wonderful day.

I'd be interested in this - I used to work at MAHLE next door so it'd be interesting to see the differences

[Steve_4]

Hi, yes I'd be interested - Thursday lunchtime would be best day for me if possible but potentially could do other days. Thanks for offering to show us round

I’m down any potential dates ?

[Dr. FrankenRex]

Yes pleaaaaaase!

Dates pending, obviously, but I can happily do during a working day with a bit of notice as it would be amazing to hear one of those engines running!

[brix79]

I too would be up for this, we had a great time doing something similar with Jaguar a few years back, also arranged by a member who worked there.

[warpc0il]

Back in the day I arranged visits to Aston Martin, both their new car production and their classic car restoration facilities.

They went down a storm

Yeah I’d be keen

[350matt]

OK so how does next Friday sound ? so the 26th at 12.30?

[Lemon]

that would probably be too short notice for me, I'd have to book the day off work.

[ChrisHolmes]

Already committed on Friday and Monday mornings.

[GreySilver Beast]

Sorry to short notice for me to attend the 26th

[brix79]

I'm also away next Friday sadly.
