Mini Countryman build dates

[JKRolling]

Hi all

We have just ordered a Mini Countryman Cooper S special edition and initially the build and delivery was estimated as July 2-3rd week. However, on confirming the order it’s moved immediately to the 3rd week of September.

Ordinarily this wouldn’t be a problem however it’s replacing a company car going back in July so it’s an issue for us.

Anyone have an insight into mini build dates or advice?

Thanks in advance

Thanks all. You were right about the reasons-semiconductors! Got a build date fully confirmed and have extended the current company car lease for a couple months at an extortionate rate. Mini have promised us a car on loan for September until the order arrives. Can’t wait to drive it now as it’s been 20 years since I’ve driven a petrol!
