I have contacted INEOS on a number of occasions and had replies from a very helpful staff member. They have informed me there is no way to directly contact the contracts team. I was an early order from Australia and I am meant to have the vehicle this month. But alas I have not even signed the contract. Maybe diesel will be illegal by the time I get it!
Spoke to my dealer - Gloucester, UK - this morning and he reiterated what others have said regarding IA will keep building regardless of contracts as they are confident if someone says no, they could sell it on fairly easily.
He also said they are due to receive the 1st UK Customer vehicle today, trying to manage the owners expectations in case it doesn’t arrive 👍

Just got told by the dealer in Sweden that i will be receiving an email from INEOS tomorrow providing me with an update.

Not sure if the update will be specifically regarding my own vehicle (build date and delivery date) or a more general company update.
That's interesting. If more of a general update it may be Lynn Calder's video that @Off.Grid mentions in his post:

Just to understand it. What use has a VIN list?
In theory, to track build order, see how the shipping locations were rolling out, stuff like that. We had one in a LR club I was in and it was pretty neat. Granted they were mostly Series trucks, but I found it interesting.

One has arrived at my dealer, it’s the wrong colour and has dark glass but at this stage I’ll take any port in a storm. Thankfully I might have to re-think my speculation that no customer cars will be registered before March 1st!

Still no contract or info relating to my “January build…”

POSITIVE news from me. Spoke to my dealer who confirmed that Ineos have built the vehicle and it is going through some quality campaigns to ensure the quality is correct.
He said they will be told when it leaves Hambach. He thought delivery, first half of March for delivery or possible earlier.
That still reads to me like it isn't technically built yet.

Just read this thread from start to 154 & it raised a thought. Does any one know if Ineos (in any form, shape or function) is aware of this forum and reads it, reacts to it or is just sailing along?
There's a lot of unhappy folk out there....... especially as we have only a small percenatge of the quoted 15,000 orders.

If you look carefully you can see the boot is stuffed with contracts ready to be sent out !!! - for the January builds

I would be surprised if nobody at Ineos knows about the forum, as we have some dealers here, members of this forum, who are in contact with Ineos.
I also think @DaveB had some contacts with Ineos!

But if the right people of Ineos are aware of, or wandering here, this is for me also a question mark!
