I'm not sure it is long gone, Godfrey. There is an old industrial building across the bridge on the other side of the harbour from the town that has been used for boat-building and various other things in recent years. If the building you can see in the film is actually the factory, then it's still there.
Interesting slice of history. The old fishing village of Peel is not the place you would expect to find making cars. Though cars might be rather a big word for them.
