Australian Deliveries

Latest Evoque owner.

Yes, fellow forum members, I collected my car this afternoon from Austral. Apparently it was a busy day (last day of the month), 25 cars were received by proud new owners - it is a multi vehicle dealership with Land Rover, Jaguar and Volvo.

The hand over was a bit rushed but that was partly due to my excitement. Also, coming from a Freelander 2 , some parts of the car felt very familiar. I am going to miss some of the extra features that I had on the Freelander that I couldn't afford on the Evoque like auto lights, auto wipers, headlight washers, rubber mats, 6 cd changer and the window tint. Having said all that, the panoramic roof makes up for whats lacking and gives even more. Pressing that button to slide back the electric blind is one amazing party trick that will forever entertain me.

A couple of picture I took at the dealership

Nice one. Hopefully I get mine in the next batch. How long did Austral take to have it ready?

13 days from when the ship docked to taking delivery.

Hand over took about an hour including settling with the finance manager. Amazingly they didn't try and sell me any paint or leather protection packages.

Received a full tank of diesel, 2 key rings and a $100 voucher to use at the dealership.

With regards to the wheels, the salesman ordered them by mistake.

In retrospect I'm glad he did. There was also a white SD4 Pure with style 5s waiting for its owner

Awww great to see all these great ppl getting their fantastic sexy cars! So Envious of you all!! The cars all look great!!

Our boat, Undine, has just left Southhampton so still have a long wait... until we get ours i will vicariously live though all the new Aussie Evoque owners

I had a look at another Evoque at the dealership yesterday. Yes there are rivet type fastenings that will need to be drilled out. Over the next couple of weeks I may look at doing this little mod. My personalised plates are black so it does not look too bad anyway.
