I have received my contract today as well. Clearly a whole wave coming through now.

Donny Grey paint for the Trialmaster models must have arrived as that’s what I ordered on 25th May.

It might also have been a problem with the DocuSign app. (or not!) A real-estate agent sent us something yesterday requiring us to reply using DocuSign. It was a shambles and hasn't been resolved.... Take heart!! ;)

Vote Labor and industry dies. Thats what happens when 'union' wages are factored so high it crushes competition.
Still no contract here :(
Would really be better if we avoided overtly party political posts in this forum. There are plenty of other forums for that purpose. It’s just going to lead to irrelevant arguments that distract from our purpose for being here and take the fun and camaraderie out of the place.

out of interest does it give you a delivery date on your contract? hats one of the reasons that Ive been given by Ineos in the past for the hold up ? be god to know !

No delivery date,

I placed a reservation at 01:49 on 30/09, placed the order 18/5 at 19:24 - bit annoyed the reservation didn’t seem to impact the build order as promised, no actual priority for hand raisers it seems. My spec is Fieldmaster, Donny Grey, black roof, red chassis, black windows, rough pack, side steps, rear table, auxiliary wiring, tow hitch. I wondered if the red chassis was slowing it up.

I have in writing from IA that the reservation date is the build slot for our vehicles - it was confirmed when I paid the Order deposit as I had issue trying to get the order finalised (web page blowing up). I am pretty sure now that reservation dates mean you only get in to the first 'batch' of cars which is likely the first 15,000 ordered. The batch of cars is then split into the regions of delivery order (seems to be Switzerland, UK, France, etc). Overseas variants are all trailing these by the looks of it from some contract signing dates.

It looks vast and lavish compared to some of the tiny 'huts' here in the UK. :ROFLMAO:
In fact it was a truck repair workshop in the past, that's the reason it is so big. And also the reason why Hedin (Mercedes dealer) choose the location in Lokeren as the INEOS garage, 33 km from my house. I have "bad luck", there is a Hedin garage at 2km from my door.

I got my contract yesterday, haven't signed yet, dealer was fine about that as he knows I want a road test drive first. Talking with one or two people I'm told the brake light thing was not true, main reason for delays is hand-finishing of cars to ensure the first batch is right and that has to be a positive thing. I'm told that 1,100 cars for the UK have been produced already, still a lot of uncertainty around delivery dates but to manage expectations INEOS are saying by the end of March which is fine with me. People I know who've driven it on tarmac say road handling is fine, one caveat was the foot rest which could be wearing on a long drive but still not a deal breaker for me. With luck I should have it for my first spring fishing trip of the year, lots to look forward to. Oh and will just add, since some wanted to know, I think I ordered mine mid-May last year.
