Looking at the shape of it......... cars

I can see a red car, SUV by the looks of it, driving off. Zoomed in can see the ships name and POR but can't read it.

Vans actually... Lots of vans

Perhaps my question was not specific enough for you.

To the OP... Do you know if there were any MGs on board?

No idea unfortunately. Probably a whole lot of different types of vehicles.

Just lucky not like that vehicle carrier which has caught fire on route to US carrying luxury German cars. 189 Bentley's on there 1100 Porche's.

The ship is the Grand Benelux, registered in Italy so likely Fiat Doblo Vans maybe in Royal Mail red. Last port was in Portugal so might be Peugeots or Ford's?

Have you received your car yet

March or Feb? If currently in suez?

FEBRUARY.

Ordered my ZS EV Long range on January 17th and was given original date of 31st May, it then got pushed back to 7th June & now just had an update saying 30th June, with reason as “delay at factory”, doesn’t specify what but assume semi-conductor part shortage, I kind of expect it’ll get pushed back again, not looking good for cars arriving after February/March shipments

Good luck I’m hoping by next week to collect first week in March not holding my breath not had any updates apart from me chasing them

I just booked a holiday in march, so I can guess when mine will be delivered!! :O

hmm seems I was right.., Dealer says car is arriving next month! :O

 

[fatboyfat1981]

Possibly wishful thinking, but has anyone had any comms saying their delivery is being brought forward?

 

[Kazzy60]

Well ordered mg on the 1st November 1.5 petrol was told delivery 1st March. I've had to contact my dealer has had no updates from them since ordering. The 5th Jan was told my vechicle was at shangai docks ready to board vessel so messaged again today only to be sent this message :
wish I had good news. Nothing seems to have moved. This assumes the tracking system is accurate and frankly it is anything but.



We are as frustrated as our customers, as we cannot seem to get the answers from MG that we need. I will let7 you know as soon as I have any information that I trust.

Saying 1st march docks at portbury know even the vessels don't know if they coming or going let alone mg
