(Hope it's ok to put this on a new thread - there is a very long shipping thread but that's under the MG-ZS forum, which is why I put this onto the MG5 forum.)
I ordered on 9th November. My dealer just told me that my car is now in port in this country, and he's expecting it at the dealer in 2-3 weeks and ready for collection pre-Christmas.
I did several times ask if this was definitely my car and not a car of matching spec which is still to be allocated, and he assured me it was. I'm inclined to believe him because when I ordered he said MG were officially quoting 4-5 weeks but he said to be honest I should allow 10-12 weeks, so nothing in it for him to raise my hopes unnecessarily now.
Assuming that's all correct it's quicker than I expected - I'd been thinking something around late January at the earliest.
Maybe I just got lucky with the colour or something as I can only assume that if it's in the country now the car must have already been on a boat at the time I ordered.
Just wondering other people's experience of lead times on Mk2 MG5 and whether anyone else has been told similar to me?
