Apparently Major Further Delay Issue.

I spoke to a Kent dealer this morning hoping to catch the sales manager who has just come back from a 2 week holiday R.E. a confirmed price on my Freelander to be told he had been summoned to an urgent dealer meeting in Gatwick about bad news on Evoque & Freelander.

I was told that unless a car is actually at this moment in time on the production line then there will be an additional 4 to 6 week delay as the line has got to be closed for some sort of modification Shocked It may be to do with "he said" quality/mis build issues. I asked does that mean the cars that have allready come off the line could be faulty he said not so far as he was aware & that they had had no problems other than one turning up with an Ebony interior & one rear door card in white Shocked Laughing.

I stand to be corrected on this & hopefully that is the case but I am simply stating what I was told though the salesman quite obviously did not know the full facts but I guess should in the morning.

Came Home On 02/03/13 Pure Tech In Barolo Black/Cirrus Trim with Bespoke Firenze Ascents + Numerous Factory Options!!

I got the impression that it was as soon as the last car that is on the line presently rolls off the end ( or rather drives off lol).

RE: Apparently Major Further Delay Issue.

Not sure what you do with 4500 people who have a job but nothing to do, not to mention suppliers. I'll reserve judgement until we know more but if it's true, it's a disaster

Evoque was great, now in an RRS SVR
