Anyway to check a MINI's birthplace? I have a Countryman ordered and the MINI website says they're made in Oxford and the OP's tracking thread says this model is made in Austria.
Pretty sure that all the Countrymans are built in the Magna-Steyr factory in Austria. The smaller cars (R55/56/57) are built at the Oxford factory. MINI's online resources and tracking for in-production cars have earned a reputation for being somewhat inaccurate. Good luck with your new Countryman! The waiting is the hardest part!
