Hi there,

As I've just registered, I thought it would be a good idea to introduce myself first.
My name is Pedro, I'm 27 years old, living in Portugal ordered this week what will be my first Mini

I'm really excited about getting this car, always been a huge fan of the Mini brand and this will be, as you can imagine, a dream come true.

Just some quick specs about the car:
F56 Cooper S, Midnight black, Cone Spoke 18" alloy wheels and a huge list of optional equipment.

As far as I know, the car will be put in production later this month, so I'm hopping it will be an early Christmas present

Really hope to learn a lot from you guys, and also share my experience in being a Mini owner.

Pedro

Thanks for all your kind words guys :-D

I've received a contact from my dealer, my MINI was made on November 7th and is currently waiting from transport to Portugal. I was told another 2 weeks before I get it.

Does anyone know where was it made? In my VIN number there is a 2B code, I've searched the forum but only got references regarding codes with "2A"´s, "T"´s or even "3"´s as far as production locations...

I thought Cooper S were made in Oxford UK?

Either OXford or the Netherlands but can't remember how to check-chassis number first letters i think indicate country code but someone on here will know!
