The van is a stupid idea unless your a florest!

I run several vans and I'm not a florist.I will probably buy a Clubvan when(if) they become available. Why is it
stupid to buy a vehicle you can reclaim the VAT on it's purchase price,all of its maintenance costs and all of it's fuel costs?

However, AFAIK, all Countryman models are built in Austria www.countrymanmotoring.com/p/countryman-faq.html

They are indeed- there's not enough capacity to build them at Oxford with the other MINIs. I think the reason they went to Austria was because of the drivetrain requirements (X3s used to be built there, but are now built at Spartanburg).

Any word on whether they'll be releasing the vans in the US?
