A Build Date.

I have my build date now, currently March the 16th but may come a tadd forward but only by a few days I would think. Final spec changes must be made by Feb 22nd I am told. Not too bad though I did ask upon ordering (Oct 1st) for a March 1st Delivery though I guess if LR don't give the order call then there is nothing the dealer can do!

Starting to get a little more excited now as after the initial order placing back in early October there was nothing really happening other than I was going round a few showrooms looking at various colour options so almost lost interest as it all seemed so far away & at this time of the year I tend not to pamper my cars that much so the thought of the new one wasn't really in my mind much lol, though I did give the MG Express a good polish last Friday in a customers garage while waiiting for his wife to come home.
Just hope I have got the spec right.

What excuses have they given you for that? Seems totally unrealistic given others have ordered so much later etc?

We were told to expect delivery in March when we ordered, but he expected it to be build Jan 12, that was a while ago though before all the delays. At least they were honest and didn't say we would get in Nov Dec etc. No excuses yet as he still feels we will get on 1 March, I am just a bit sceptical!!
