When I ordered mine in September it was expected delivery late January/early February.

I've not got a build date yet.

You might get it by Christmas, fingers crossed.

I was pulling your leg.

Mine was built 5/6 weeks after order so early March sounds about right.

It took 3 to 4 weeks after that for the keys to end up in my hand.

Not cool diesel, my heart sank! Haha, I'd never have thought a car could cause such an emotional roller coaster.

Counting down the days!

Nothing as of yet, I'm assuming my next update will be after she's been built!

I ordered mine end of August, however I said I didn't want it until March 2016 so can't really use my order as a good example for time frames unfortunately.

Yep, exactly! I know it wouldn't matter to some people, but it did for me and I'm not in a rush so didn't mind waiting :)

You won't get a 5b text.

This was my experience and it's quite similar to most other folk

18 Sept: Your order has progressed to stage 5a of 7 (in transit: left factory)

3 Oct: Your order has progressed to stage 6 of 7 (arrived in the UK)

9 October: you order has progressed to stage 7 of 7 (your car has arrived)

Don't know if this will be of any help to anyone, but my car was built in the first week of Feb and the garage took delivery of it on Friday :)

Perfect, exactly what I was looking for, will obviously fluctuate but helps a lot. Not sure if it's me, but I'm weary of the increase of orders due to the new plates coming out.

Again, not sure if it's me just being worried. Getting increasingly impatient, and there's a 99.9% chance that I'm just creating completely insane assumptions!

Friday being today? If so, have you already set the tent up next to it ready for the 1st of March?

Wow, that is quick!

So what day exactly did you receive your 5a (sorry for the interrogating!) :D

Did you take any pictures? I've got a similar spec to you, was just wondering how the 90 tints looked! :clap:

Its been two and a half weeks, still no stage 6 update!

Been hunting around for what ship it would be on but no luck! Im from South London so I took a wild guess at it being delivered to Sheerness? No sign of a Boat from Emden there!

Would anybody know what ship it might be on?
