Hello, long term lurker on the forum, also scared of tempting fate !. After the chip shortages, factory covid shutdown and the war, I'm scared there may still be a fly in the ointment to come, but notified by dealer today that the car is at port of departure. Just got all fingers crossed it may really actually arrive after what will be a 9 month wait....

WTF :mrgreen: Ordered on December 21 and haven't heard anything exact in 8 months...

I'm well aware of some of the long waits, which was one reason I was hesitant to post any information, however hopefully this is an indication of better progress on orders.

It could be due to a cancelled order with a very similar configuration?

I did think that, although nothing was mentioned when I spoke to them earlier today it's only a month ago that I enquired about the likelihood of meeting the 12 month order estimate being met, so I think it was a surprise to them that the cars available.

Do you have any optional extras?

My 60 Loft was ordered (via lease company Arval) end of September 21 and delivered a couple of weeks back.

So strange that yours is delayed. My last estimate was Mid October too.

On the lease order confirmation it may have the dealer name and a contact. I found the dealer much more helpful than the lease company on progress updates.
