It's a bit mental when you think of the size of the purchase, BMW do it better, certainly for Mini - where eddie stobarts drive to Austria, collect the dealer allocation, and drive it straight there.
It starts being built the Thursday before the build week. By Monday of the build week it should have already been built and be into quality control. It'll sit there for around 7-10 days, then it is the lottery of travel.
All in, you should expect to be able to collect around 4 weeks from the start of build week.
