Unless they're at Farnborough with a car tomorrow/Saturday, I highly doubt they'll have the first test drives. In fact, I expect we'll have a good few customer cars out on the road before the end of September

Demonstrators arriving in Leeds tomorrow with test drives to commence from Saturday

That silver is likely the plastic protective cover. We had a red one arrive this week with exactly these areas covered in white plastic. Although does give a good look at what a vinyl wrap may look like, if nothing else just to protect the glossy black areas

The height of the door opening is configurable within the centre screen.

Yes, re-recorded some of the audio as it was very difficult to hear. Its still processing so quality isnt too high yet but should be 1080p by the morning.

So do I! Absolute nightmare. Filmed it twice with 2 different mic’s. Not sure what’s gone wrong. I’m going to re-record the audio today and see if it’s any better

Demos on track for mid Sept. The allocation for first customer batches will depend on whether they decide to give dealers 1 demo or 2 (ie 1 for showroom, 1 for demo). I expect we’ll get more information later this month.

I have no ship names, I have no port information. All I know is the cars I have arriving and on what dates. And I’ll be communicating to the people who’s cars are (and aren’t) on those ships over the course of the next week or so

Not necessarily true. Its likely there will be more LR Trophy's in the early batches (it helps with the residual value) but its also likely to the most popular so it all depends when you order. Ordering could open at any time and it will almost certainly be before the middle of September.

I guess the point to note is that the vast majority of people on this forum are awaiting ZS EV LR. There are many many cars coming and I expect September will see MG dethrone plenty of 'big players' in the SMMT figures. But they also have 5 other cars in the range and ultimately have 50,000+...

I have just been given the information on what ships are arriving in September and what's on them. Ship trackers are great for speculating. The good news is that there's a LOT of cars coming. I cant guaratee yours will be on it, and I cant tell you there's going to be the exact model/spec/colour...

The errors don't keep repeating. I don't know how clearer I can be. We list everything on AutoTrader. They are not errors - it is simply Auto Trader's wording to say they are 'in stock'. We do have a couple of ZS EV LR SE's available via a cancelled order which I am making available for retail...

Sorry, hadn't seen these messages until now. As you probably know, my mobile number is plastered on the website and I'm very accessible on social media or via direct message so I don't think its fair to suggest I've been ignoring these comments. As I've said on numerous forums, the MG new car...

No. 51kWh will be SE spec only

I would imagine the press will be given a bit of a sniff of pricing, which they won’t explicitly share but will give pretty close estimates. They are having the press day in August. We have been given the same steer but it’s not confirmed hence why nothing been publicised but it’s impressive...
