I owe you a big one if this happens ?Have had 2 new ford's and 3 kias now waiting for my zs ev I'm sure that cars are alicated to dealers after coming off the ship kia was the same told by dealer not built yet 2 days later be here next week think a few people will be getting a call soon as there are a lot of transporters docking this month ?
Yes I didJust out of curiosity did you order from Summit Garage?
Same told me Rachel was on holiday this week so couldn't help me. Spoke on the 5th Jan and was told it was on shanghai docks waiting to be loaded. Durban highway docked today and viking sea is due in portbury on the 11th both vessels from shanghai. So keep everything crossed our cars are on 1 of them. If not next vessel comes on the 28th good luck?Same as me, I asked last week about delivery but didn’t get very far.
Don't think MG work like that. I think they build a batch of each model/colour then match to orders. The batch build/shipping method is what helps them cut costs.I assumed that when you ordered a new car the dealer sent your specifications to MG and they allocated it a customer number ie. 1234567 . That was sent to the factory and they added it to the end of the queue. I can imagine that they spray a number of cars blue and they must shuffle the orders about then do the red ones. Then join the production line in numerical order. Unless I am wrong?
Durban Highway has left so get your drones out lolAnyone on the group got a drone they can fly over Portbury?… or perhaps we’re taking this a bit too far![]()

Durban highway didn't stay long. Got viking sea due in and the 27th sunlight ace. Ordered 1st November so hopefully mines on 1 of thoseViking Sea is now bearing down on the UK docking Bristol tomorrow
That'll be because Honda build to order and have multiple options/configurations. Most car manufacturers operate this way but it's much more expensive.When I was a contractor working in the Honda car factory in Swindon the cars went through in multiple colours according to the orders. I never saw red ones one day and blue another in batches, always just a line of random colours going along the lines.
