We ordered on 9-1 and I was told by ROBOT on Ask-Mini went into production
on 9-12 scheduled to complete on 9-14.

Others I have talked at Ask-MIni all say it is being built, but the completion dates goes from 9-14 thru 9-20, depending on who I speak with.

I was told that once it is built it should be 20 days from leaving factory to my driveway.

Dealer told us when we ordered figure 8 weeks, but they have been getting them in about 6 weeks.

We are ready to roll

specs:

Cooper S
British Racing Green
White roof/mirrors
White bonnet stripes
Cold Weather
H/K
Premium
Sports
Convenience
Chrome interior
Aux

Cold Weather

Sunroof
LSD
MFSW
Rear Fog
Anthracite interior
black leatherette
S-Lites but with R90s ready and waiting

Since this is Week 38 it should be built this week!
