An exclusive group of five MINI enthusiasts became the first to take customer deliveries of the locally-assembled MINI Countryman, born and bred in Thailand. The auspicious ceremony marking the handover was presided by top management from both BMW Group Thailand and Millennium Auto Group.
The MINI Cooper Countryman, Cooper D Countryman and Cooper SD ALL4 Countryman, are the three most popular MINI models in the Thai market. All three aforementioned MINI Countryman models are now being assembled locally at the state-of-the-art BMW Manufacturing Thailand plant in Amata City Industrial Estate, Rayong Province - marking yet another significant milestone of MINI since 1959 when the first MINI was built in Oxford, UK.
