The following day it was on to Wolfsburg to the Museum and Factory. We were lucky enough to have a special tour guide around the museum who was a fountain of knowledge and provided much trivia. Next, it was into the rare spares area at the Museum however this was rather disappointing compared to prior years. The parts area has become very commercial and is specialising in more and more late model parts. All parts are now better organised and sorted by part number.
Prices are rather strong and bargains for Vintage buffs are harder to come by.
I left with my wallet intact. Shirley was suitably impressed. The Factory tour was a standout- over 2 hours sitting comfortably in a small 4 carriage train pulled around by a converted and cut down Golf. There are 4 of these vehicles, two which have English speaking guides and another two where German guides talk for the full 2 hours. The drive takes in all the areas of the factory except the initial sheet metal area .Watching the robots in action is fascinating and the other major attraction is the spray painting area.
