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!

 

Made in Austria? Maybe it'll come filled with pastry! Saw your car took six days to come from the dealer. Hope mine's quicker.

Thanks for your reply

 

Yes, but take note of the dates - there's several days lost to the holiday season in there. Yours should be quicker. We want pics when it arrives!
