Brief description
"Plant Oxford is the heart of MINI. It's where all the parts are assembled and come together to make road-ready MINI models. It's the largest and oldest of our UK production plants and 2023 marks Plant Oxford's 110th anniversary.
Here, steel pannels from Plant Swindon and engines from Plant Hams Hall come together with parts from all over the world to produce the iconic MINI. Around 800 MINIs are produced at our Plant each day, with a car coming off the line every 67 seconds!"
