I say that’s the first car from Sandicliffe Nottingham given the FP registration.

I might have seen it already:

I saw some delivered ones today (online) with the bump strips, so maybe you are the last of the few?

That is impossible. That's not how production works.

Production planning is a balanced day to day (if not hour to hour) decision that depends on the availability of parts, resources of other kind (machines, tools, energy prices, personnel ...) and the needs of customers. It's a funnel that narrows day by day, and what comes out of the factory the day after tomorrow is often not known this morning.

It's simply a great car. Congratulations!

Color like mine, steel rims like mine, no raised air intake like mine and no winch - unlike mine.

Looks so good! (y)

And it's a good photograph, btw. The difference is in the subtleties, and yours is the perspective together with the background. Very nice and harmonic. It looks like something which is just as it should be. (y)


Have a look at the trim gap, please. A photo would be nice. :)

It's 100% true! After sales guys going to agents away from family all through the week, they don't stop. And nothing is too much trouble for them, it's the side of things the end user doesn't see but agents do. I'm personally massively appreciative of the time they put in too help us all get everyone in the vehicles they've waited so long for.

Sounds very similar to those on the ships delivering them , but thats for months on end :unsure: :(

Wouldn’t it be great if IA simply put a queue position countdown on the customer portal? They know the order.. so if you could log in and see your were 458 in the queue and monitor your progress over the weeks and months wouldn’t that prevent a lot of the frustration? It would probably save customer services a lot of hassle too.

Great idea, but the customer log in portal is next to useless for up to date info.

I'd adapt your idea to a 24 hour webcam showing vehicles coming off the production line and a big display showing that queue number!

The steel wheels need the K02 tyres to look good and give street cred. (I mean off road cred)
The road tyres need alloys to show you are embracing your inner soccer mum.

Interesting how soccer mums are singled out. My boys had a hockey mum. And I had a "never ever drove nor even had a driver's license , hate that rough Aussie rules " totally unsporty mum.
What do rugby mums drive?
