Hi - new here - how do I find out...

Where my mini was built?

I did not order mine, I fell in love with it on the lot, no need to wait! The door jamb sticker says Germany, but the VIN appears to be coded for Oxford.

Can any of you mini gurus help?

Welcome to NAM pumpkin65. I am thinking that they are all assembled in Oxford but then I'm not a guru.

Here is a link to an explanation of the VIN codes, which you may already have discovered.

thanks...

I am so happy to hear that it was assembled in Oxford...I visited there in March, but I knew nothing about mini's then. I wish I could have seen the plant. Funny to think my baby's parts were probably there when I was!

Thanks for your help...
