点评:We were deciding between visiting the Mini factory near Oxford with it's latest robots and automated assembly line, and the Morgan factory with the old school hand-made production techniques. We chose the Morgan factory, and are we glad we did!
Nothing beats the charm and finesse of a hand-made product that is crafted with love and pride. You can certainly see the love, pride and attention to detail during the tour of the Morgan factory. Did you know that every single Morgan is made to order, and that the factory does not have any dead stock? An internship at the company takes 5 years to complete, which shows the level of dedication and craftsmanship which goes into building these cars.
The tour is very interesting, and you get to understand the entire history of Morgan, going from the first "cyclecar" in 1910 to the latest model, the Supersport, released in 2025. Most employees work there for decades, which goes to show that the company treats it's employees very well.
Big shout out for our guide Ross Herbert for making the tour even more fun with his great sense of humour and by telling us little quirky, fun stories throughout the tour. Everything from the welcome at reception to the tour, the shop and cafe at the end well organised, and the staff treated all guests very warmly.
Definitely time well spent. Highly recommend this tour!
翻译:我们当时正在犹豫是去牛津附近的Mini工厂,那里拥有最新的机器人和自动化流水线,还是去摩根工厂,那里采用的是老式的手工生产工艺。我们选择了摩根工厂,而且我们非常庆幸自己这么做了!
没有什么能比得上手工制品的魅力和精湛工艺,它们倾注了我们满腔的爱与自豪。在摩根工厂参观期间,您一定能感受到他们对细节的热爱、自豪和关注。您知道吗?每一辆摩根汽车都是按订单生产的,而且工厂里没有任何积压库存。在摩根工厂实习需要5年时间,这充分体现了制造这些汽车所投入的奉献精神和精湛的工艺。
这次参观非常有趣,您可以了解摩根的整个历史,从1910年的第一辆“摩托车”到2025年推出的最新款Supersport。大多数员工在那里工作了几十年,这表明公司对员工的待遇非常好。
非常感谢我们的导游Ross Herbert,他幽默风趣,一路上给我们讲各种稀奇古怪的小故事,让这次旅行更加精彩。从接待处的欢迎到旅程的开始,再到最后的商店和咖啡馆,一切都井然有序,工作人员也热情地接待了所有客人。
绝对物有所值。强烈推荐这次旅行!
