Yep usual madness. MG UK seem to hide behind the 'dealers can allocate stock as they see fit, they are franchises' line they gave me.
They don't seem to see how frustrating this is for people waiting when there is stuff like that for sale.
Poor way to operate and an inability to see the bigger picture.

Interesting to know the order numbers- I wonder if we can deduce delivery order from that?! but in 2021 they sold ~30k cars (~50% EVs)
MG Motor UK breaks all records as sales pass 30,000 in 2021

We ordered our LR trophy in December and still no idea when it will arrive. Can’t understand MGs allocation system.

I don’t blame you, the situation with Vanarama is ridiculous.

And that’s our dealer, we ordered exact same spec. What’s betting we don’t get a call from them to offer us the car.

If these cars aren't allocated to customers, no reason they can't apply them to the waiting list if MG has no issue with it. They'll probably sell to someone at a higher price point though, which is wrong.
And aren't Cars2 the same dealer discussed on this thread, that have stiffed customers of their PiCG?
Edit: Spelling correction

I ordered through octopus in Decber for April delivery. 1 week before delivery I was told that my car wasn't on the ship and would be June, then it moved to July, then it moved to August. I'm now middle of September. Octopus are blaming MG for our communication. Majorly frustrating though

Had my ZS on order with Vanarama since last November. April delivery was cancelled. Had a call yesterday telling me it might now be April next year. I’m cancelling. Went to local dealership yesterday and they have an MG5 (cancelled order), which has now got my name on it.

When I spoke to the adviser I did ask if there was any chance of them turning up earlier.
He didn't say yes but did mention all they've had so far is a few ICE ZS turn up.

When I spoke to them yesterday they have no idea. They’re simply pushing date on by several months each time. I think there’s a problem between leasing companies who have taken mass orders and MG.

Identical timing for me with my lease order. I ordered MG5 LR Exclusive through SG Fleet back in December and, just the same, 1 week before delivery in April, was told of the months delay, which has pushed out every month since then.
Last month I was sent a list of all 9 stages that my car would go through from "unconfirmed build" through to "awaiting delivery instructions from dealer" and my order was at the very first step! So, I'll wait for the next update due this week to be told exactly the same. They even said there's no way to update my order model to the latest, which adds insult to injury. I'll keep pressing on that but won't hold my breath...

I think all this date info, is utter rubbish, no one has any idea when it’ll turn up, they are just giving you a guess date, I’ll give you all a date, could be tomorrow, if it’s not here then, it’ll be the day after..

Not judging by a similar thread in the MG5 forum. There are November/December orders unfulfilled there too, just not as many as the SUV shape is more popular.

Hi I’ve noticed that most of the people on here are waiting for long range, are there issues with the standard range as I ordered my ZS trophy connect SR on the 7th April but have not been given any information other than order placed.
I ordered from a local MG dealer Mervyn Stewart in Bangor Northern Ireland.

Just had an email from the same dealer as @MistaMayka stating he has been informed by MG that as of the start of September, deliveries of over 10,000 new MGs will be docking into the UK....but (and isn't there always a but) " what cars they will be we have absolutely no idea". The dealer goes on to say that he is "confident a small handful of those cars will be for his customers".
Sorry, but I'm not so confident! As its only a relatively small dealership, and we don't know which model many of those hoped for small handful are, I'm still not realistically expecting my ZS this year.
Now that China is practicing blockading Taiwan, who I believe manufacture a lot of the chips for EVs, who knows if even that expectation is overly optimistic?

There was a big delivery of SRs a couple of months back and some dealers do still seem to have SRs in stock. Who knows when the next lot will arrive? If I were you I'd cancel my order and buy from a dealer who has the car on the forecourt. It would be worth your while even if it means a wee trip to Scotland.

Just been told that my TCLR ordered in Feb for Sept delivery may not even have been built yet, up until today my lease company told be it will be delivered on the 1st of Sept as agreed.
