Default Off to Castle Bromwich for the LAST Tour and Track

From the ripe age of 12 until and including now I have been a rabid fan of the Jaguar marque and the history behind this storied company and their amazing automobiles. I has been on my bucket list to one day travel to England and stand in the factory that produces our cars. Since Jaguar will no longer produce a sports car or a gasoline engine for that matter after this year, I decided it was now or never. Logging on to the Jaguar Experience area of their website I found out the very last "Tour and Track" experience was September 14, 2023. With only 3 slots left open I wasted no time in purchasing my slot.
Flying out on the 12th arriving the 13th and will arrive at Castle Bromwich at 8:30am on the 14th for a 3 hour tour of the factory. After lunch it is off to the track for 4 hours with an instructor.

Will post photos of as much as they will allow, as well as photos of what is left of the Browns Lane Coventry facility and the Jaguar Daimler trust.

Would love to hear from anyone who has experienced this event.

I hope there's a typo in there or you'll be a day late!

I always get worried when I hear about a "three hour tour."
