:) First Member to post their delivery/pick-up of the MG4 :)

I think dealers need to wait until after their model training which is happening end of this week apparently. So potentially deliveries next week by the sounds of it.

And as a member posted, we may enjoy a VAT reduction this Friday. Pigs might well fly yet.

Even in the unlikely event of a VAT reduction, they don't have to pass it on, but one would hope that they did. I think the promise of a VAT reduction was just a pre leadership contest bribe by whatever the new prime minister's name is (I forget!)!!

I think it was something like Elsie Surgical-Appliance?

Actually, you always wanted one, you just didn’t know you wanted one.
Good decision, what have you ordered?

What they had available.. A grey standard trim, possibly one which somebody wanted as a Trophy. Said colour costs more which goes against the grain, but it does look nice, having peaked at photos since.

Eleven cars on that transporter so that's why they're limited!

An Australian TV channel didn't recognise her at the funeral and identified her as possibly a "minor royal"!?

It'll only be VAT off funeral plans: #pandertoyourelectorate

That would fit in with my dealer saying that each dealer was getting 11 each initially, so a full transporter each.

I had a call - to come and look at the showroom car this weekend. No test drives yet (or they ran out of time slots).

So I'm going to have a look at one on saturday afternoon.

 

[gasman]

my dealer was only promised 3 cars and one of them is mine !!!!!

Just had a call, car arriving on Friday this week, PDI Monday and I am booked in Tuesday morning to pick it up ??

Is it an SE that you've gone for? Seems like there are quite a lot in. Maybe disproportionately more than Trophy despite the original 40% Vs 50% (Trophy) split.

Trophy in grey

Just had a call from my local dealer, which is always appreciated! The update as follows: demo car to be delivered earlier next week along with the other allocated cars.

Is your's one of the allocated cars? Me being from Essex too, and not having heard anything from my dealer, could I ask please who your local dealer is?

Would the first forum member to drive one off kindly call out "FOURRR" with a proper roll of the 'Rs' (make up your own joke here) to warn those of us lost and wandering in the wilderness.

With MG….. anything is possible!!

I have been told that I will have the first Orange Trophy (that my dealership gets) by the end of September. Still do not actually believe that until I get the keys.

Posed on the green, club in hand, focusing, slight backside wiggle but as yet no target ?‍

A 'hen's tooth' blue trophy on order since the order books opened. Dealer is saying end of October... I think I may believe it when I see it. Might get a Born on order too and see whether after the test drive I think the MG is good enough to make it value for money and not just cheap... and see which arrives first. The Other Half would prefer the MG as the price of EVs smartz generally.

 

[SueH]

Welllllll, it looks like I could be picking my car up on Tuesday. The dealer had five trailers turn up and I suspect they want to get space freed up!

Subject to test drive, of course. Does anyone know how much mud flaps might be.., I might want them free to push me over the line given the absence of a rear wiper.

Looks like we might have a winner...good luck for next Tuesday..!

Dealer fit mudflaps normally cost around £50 but many on the forums here get them from AliExpress website a lot cheaper and fit themselves, as I did for our ZS.
You can buy a set of 4 on there for around £15 but probably not available yet.

Unfortunately nothing seems to be listed for the 4 yet.

That'll be them creating the 'want' again?
