I noticed that to, thought it must have been Jan 2011

That is ridiculous, I can only think certain dealers must have unfilled build slots, I am not convinced that the UK demand is as high as it was and dealers may have some spare slots. I don't think the second hand dealer stock is moving much either!

THEMACS I know exactly how you are feeling now. Picking mine up on Friday, arrived at dealer yesterday so pretty confident it will happen.

I feel for those overseas over the next few weeks when theirs could arrive. Mine was due in 2 weeks whilst I am in Germany. Fortunately came forward by 2 weeks over the last month. Now canceled the flights and booked the Eurotunnel. Hope there are no teething problems.

Good stuff Vern, when did it get built and when was it due to get built?

Was built over the weekend 3rd-4th.

Had an original build date of 19th and delivery 26th, when in Germany.
2 weeks later build date of 9th with hopefully delivery 21st.
1 week later advise build date had moved to the 5th.

When I talked to the sales guy on 5th to see if it actually was in build I was informed it was complete and in the Pound at Halewood. Pity it took a week to get it on a transporter.

So collection on the 16th March exactly 6 months after my order and deposit paid on 16th September. Exactly the expected delivery date on my receipt. Good planning control LR.

Ours went to build on either the 8 or 9 and sounds like it completed over the weekend. The dealer is trying their best to get it transported this week in time for Saturday, might be a bit tight! Although he thinks it might turn up tomorrow, lets hope so, he said as long as they get it by Friday we will have it for Saturday

My dealer tried to phone a friend at LR despatch and got worst than nowhere. Looks like they have got a lot to ship at the moment. Sound like they are under pressure trying to ship the increase in vehicles going through now.

The dealer also indicated that LR are trying to satisfy as many UK orders as possible to get 12 plated cars on the road.

Hope you get it by the end of the week. With a build 8th-9th you have a good chance but agree its going to be tight. Dealer should have a good idea as deliveries look to be on certain days of the week to particular dealers, or at least that was the indication I got.
