If you look at the last 7 digits of the VIN, out of those, the second one designates the factory it is being built in.
B designates Austria GRAZ and the others are Germany (Dingle whatever the name is I don't recall)
The tracking article the I recall will tell you whihc port the cars go to so keep and eye on the car every day to track where it is and then it's a case for looking for a ship departing there for southampton that ties in with the code saying is on its way. Thats what I did so pretty sure I had the right ship, certianly tied in with the times but I don't know for sure.
