Countryman Assembly Plant in Graz Austria
As many of us know the assembly of all Countryman units are outsourced to Magna Steyr's plant in Graz, Austria, and are not assembled with the other Mini models at Oxford . If anyone is interested in a very good aerial view of the plant, go to bing.com, click on "maps" and enter "Graz Austria". Move the map to the southeast and you will see that the assembly plant is located where Autobahn E59 meets E66. The plant is easily identified by the test track on the property. Zoom in as far as possible and switch to Birds Eye View. You will be able to see different groups of assembled cars outside and around the plant awaiting transport (as well as what appears to be parking lots for plant workers). Some of the best views are if you "rotate" to a view to the south (default is north). I'm not sure how current the views are, but do you think that's a couple of rows (roughly 80 cars) of Countrymen (is the plural of Countryman "Countrymen"?) along the north fence of the property? In another area you can see what appears to be Chrysler Mini vans (or something very similar) being loaded on car carriers.
