Default 1977 Tour Similar

Thanks for posting the tour video.
The '61 tour was very similar to my tour of the Browns Lane factory in 1977, except, of course, for the model of Jags rolling off the lines. Somewhere I have some Super 8mm sound film of the factory exterior and "showroom" where a D-Type sat on display with a flat tire.
My recollection is that the trim (upholstery) section of the factory looked quite chaotic but the resultant products were beautiful.
That's a great piece of video!
P. S. A friend of mine bought an XJS several years ago and he and his wife called it a Jag-wire! It was akin to fingernails on a chalkboard to me.
