Hey guys,

It's still early, but let's give our beloved devs already some serious inspiration.

So the basic idea is to post exterior shots of car factories, if possible from every decade.
From a small, medium, big or a huge multi-national, every photo is welcome.
Links to certain albums and dropping ideas are also allowed.

Fiat - Lingotto factory:

Alfa Romeo - Portello:

More photo's of the former Portello factory

I could go on and on with posting pics and links, but i'm also counting on you the (rest of the community) ofcourse. :mrgreen:

Yay! More pics

Also is that a test track in the roof?!

Yep its a Fiat factory in Turin. The cars would move upwards during assembly and end up on the roof for the test drive.

I say the top gear where they walked round the tvr factory was sad and just abandoned

but that rover factory is just like every1 walked out with cars on the monorail still etc its very weird to look at guess it aint like that any more well i no it aint its just rubble but still amazing to see all they half finished cars and prototypes etc

We had a portuguese small automaker called UMM and their facilities were basically three giant barns, one for storage and chassis mounting, the second for assemble the rest and the third with the offices and the auto repair.
