Australasia Don Carlos Update

[Tazzieman]

Is it true that there's a Greyhound bus leaving early Sunday morning from Brisbane headed for Melbourne via Sydney and collecting eager Grenadier owners along the way to witness the berthing of the Don Carlos??

Yes, but only for contract holders...

a real time map of the Don Carlos location is here as of 3 minutes ago. Type in Don Carlos in the search box and select the Don Carlos that is the vehicle carrier

Really ? When ?

A couple of days ago (the first sentence of your post).

Purnell Adventure will not get their demonstrator cars until later. He believed they would have Purnell’s own IG before the demonstrators, which they may use as a demonstrator in the short term for some potential customers. He was discussing June/July.

Sorry, I thought you were saying that Purnell had confirmed grenadierboy's post that there were customer cars arriving on the Don Carlos.
As you say, the timeline for first deliveries appears to be that they’re on the water now, will arrive in May, and will be ready for customers in June/July.
For me, it's only one month later than the delivery date that was forecast back in October.

There is a second delivery, for Australia, is coming June/July, after the first one in May. Which I assume, but do not know, is on the Dan Carlos as we did not discuss May deliveries.

We'll find out soon if there are any Grenadiers on the Don Carlos, as I understand it’s due to unload on Monday.

Agatha Christies " The Case of Don Carlos and the missing Grenadier"
A lovely tale full of twists and turns and a surprise ending

My agent (who sells many different European brands) said the following:

1. Don Carlos (berthing 17 April) contains Grenadiers ALL for customers (because IA told him)
2. European cars currently 20 days to get to him (10 days unload/quarantine/customs but 10 days awaiting transport/transport to his dealership)
3. Then expects only 2 days to prep Grenadier for customer
4. After the May customer deliveries (from Don Carlos) - next customer deliveries mid June, then early July

I hope you’re right, but my agent told me that he rang INEOS Australia yesterday and was told that there are no Grenadiers on the Don Carlos.

Again, we'll find out on Monday.

Then, seemingly miscommunication between IA and agents - not surprised.
My agent (note: sells many leading car brands) made other comments to me that I will not make public.
