Bottom line is that you were given a confirmed build date based on original spec. Once your dealer submitted the spec change, order control should have reviewed it and changed it accordingly. At this point, apart from a supply shortage with the paint itself, nothing should make your car slip further. If I were you I would be going absolutely ape sh!t. A 13 week slip is unacceptable.

may not be really, they will build cars in batches of each colour, if he was moving colour it sounds entirely reasonable and possible he would move batch.

Has your build/delivery date been put back?

@ED209, I understand that, but that would of reflected in the first change of build date once the change was made. My point being, that at this stage, it should not keep slipping. From my understanding, LR order conrol only confirm build once theyve seen the order. If the change was made a while ago, thats when the new build date was given and it would have been based on a firenze red vehicle.

Stand up and take a bow, Stratstone Cheltenham and Gloucester. If I delay delivery until 1 March, it will be 8 months since I first ordered and, as of today, I'm barely half-way there. Three weeks ago, I was three weeks away and would have been picking up the car today.

I only changed the colour a couple of weeks ago after the big slip so it may be that the car is indeed waiting for the next batch of Firenze cars. I'm convinced they like to batch up the colours to avoid colour changes in the paint shop so hopefully somebody is getting their Indus car early, though it remains an unpopular colour.
