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!

@Halliwell Jones Chester any tid bits of info your end you can relay?
Not outside unloading vehicles unfortunately, but will be soon.

Yes customer cars are starting to move but I would imagine this to be a measured approach to start with, so I'm not expecting 100 grenadiers to turn up in the first couple of months.

No real news apart from there will be a video sent out tomorrow as someone else has already reported.

Apart from that guys and girls I'm waiting for my demo like everyone else is waiting for there vehicle.

Apologies for being a little quiet on here lately but not a lot to report and a lot of things that have needed doing in the background.

Steve.

Just to understand it. What use has a VIN list?

VIN´s are sometimes essential to obtain all genuine parts for retrofits, i.e. you wish to or you have added an optional extra at a later stage.. The EPC or parts catalogue will show the correct parts required with the "wrong" VIN - of a vehicle that was fitted ex works but not yours. Referencing of factory options and equipment across different vehicles used to be applied by G-Wagen enthusiasts. On LR´s it used to be simpler to identify the correct bits and bobs w/o the VIN.

Australia
So, if the first vehicles are rolling out throw Swiss, UK etc - then Australia is a minimum MAY delivery for our 1st vehicle!!! This slightly reaffirms my July/Aug delivery. Hopeful. Fingers crossed. Please be right!

Just spoke with my agent, some possibility of a very small number of cars arriving April ish (not mine unfortunately), but realistically most will be May onwards
