Struggling to find any dodgy batch codes for them as i have just obtained one from minispares. Surely this issue is resolved now as it was over 2 years ago but be nice to know for peace of mind!! -MINI CLUBMAN 1380 TURBO- |

If they moved the manufacturing equipment to Belgium, ie, specifically the dies that do the final pressing, the HG itself could still say GB no matter where it was made.
