    Headed for factory visit next week.
    Cameras not allowed inside and no cell phones either.
    Anyone know how to get a photo or two inside?
    Also, will they check your cell phone or do you need to leave in your car?

    Sneaking a picture is a good way NOT to ever be invited again.

    When there, ask if they have any authorized factory photos to give you. You are their guests, their rules! Jim

    Thanks, everyone.
    Was not suggesting sneaking a photo.
    Rather, was asking if someone was able to get a photo done by asking or if there was a station for photos being made by the tour leader or anything else available. I thought perhaps someone who has actually done a tour might have some actual experience to share.

    They come around in the bus with a bag for you to drop your cameras / phones into.

    Mc Laren collected our phones before entering the room.

    There is no station where they allow photos. That said, I was allowed to photograph the factory in 2015. Is there something you are looking for?

    Did my tour last week lead by Barbara and it was fantastic.
    They now allow you to keep your phone but they put a sticker over the front and rear lens so the phone is functional but not the camera. We had a great time. I particularly liked the chance to see a F1 car screaming along at the track which is part of the tour.
    Also noticed far more giallo cars in the various manufacturing lines than I expected.
    Highly recommend the tour.
    Definitely a bucket list item.
