I used to live just down the road from the Maybury Road works. Look at the size of the place they went to on Sheerwater in comparison although I now believe they are somewhere near Fairoaks. ( I moved away in the late 70s).
I only moved away last month. I was down there once doing a feature on Nick Phipps who was a GB Bobsleigh driver who used McLaren to build his sled. Walked in and Niki Lauda was answering the reception phones - he had lost a bet over a Grand Prix and had to do an hour there. Wasn't allowed to write about it at the time but everyone in the factory came out to see it. Apparently the reception girls made him get them teas as well. The new McLaren base is a mile up the road towards Chertsey and is massive.
