We spoke to our dealer today 3rd Feb. The car has been on order since 16th September, and has now reached our shores. The dealer expected us to delay delivery until 1st March for the new "22" plates, but we said we would only delay if it was close (maybe 10 days or less) to the month end, otherwise we will take it as soon as we could... Not sure of timescales from port to dealer, especially if this was a big shipment, but it would then be with the dealer a week for the PDI, making it UK spec (whatever that implies) and having the KERS software update. On the plus side our current car appears to have increased in value by £1k since September! At least the end is in sight!
