So does anyone on here know if it's a possibility at a reasonable price to see the Freely being made? Is it a case of going there, knocking on the door and joining a tour.

I believe it can be done through an "experience" day but at a cost, I was looking at an alternative cheaper option. Maybe a group option if that is available.

Dress up in some overalls, wipe some grease on face, swear like a trooper and demand tea at every opportunity and turn up at the factory gate 10 mins late, you'll get in!

On top of that would it help if I was carrying a worn out clutch plate, a detached gear knob and a 1930's sat nav disc

I assume you have seen this:

Yeah I went on that site but you have to pay a lot of money for the "experience" just for the benefit of a factory tour.
