Smurf TrophyWhich colour/trim combo?
Nice combo. I will admit I did not like the blue when I first saw it, but it has grown on me. Waiting for White Trophy myself. You might get lucky if your dealer is allocated one to replace your ordered one. But I think they did over order the orange paint, loads of those around.Smurf Trophy

Luckily, I still have 18 months left on my Zoe's PCP.Nice combo. I will admit I did not like the blue when I first saw it, but it has grown on me. Waiting for White Trophy myself.

Yes on Monday 14th at midnight.Stena Ebba is just of the coast of Tunisia it's showing as next stop Gibraltar, is that not due to end up at Portbury?
Just had the same telephone call, a new "to the dealership" sales person just called to introduce themselves and said it could be a November Delivery date, but no information onExcitingly, I now have the condition best described as "rumblings of the dealer". They have been in touch just now to say they are getting more regular shipments over the next few weeks and mine could be coming later this month.
Same here - cancelled my orderPoo!
I emailed MG with my order number and got told "waiting for factory build".
This is despite pre-ordering!
Same here - cancelled my order
Another example of differences between dealers. I ordered 24th August, the car I believe arrived on a boat around 21/22/23 October, but the dealer doesn't yet have an estimate for a delivery date to them, or a collection date for me! Also someone on here has mentioned that their car arrived with a dealer the other morning, and was able to pick up that afternoon, whereas you have been told 3 weeks from arrival at dealer to customer collection! Perhaps its because your dealer is bigger, so has more cars to PDI, perhaps its because your dealer is at Bristol and is overlooking the cars at the docks and considers that to be their new deliveries compound!Things are moving for me at last now. After a failed attempt at ordering through a local dealer, I paid the deposit on a Trophy on 11th November (last week) with another dealer and got the call today that collection will be 5th December.
The dealer already has the car in their new deliveries compound but the reason for the three weeks delay before pickup is that they have very long queue of vehicles awaiting PDI (now there's a surprise - not!).
I'm hoping I get the registration number in time to complete the PCP paperwork and arrange insurance (which is £289 with Aviva btw) and then hope I'm the rare example that doesn't get any of the gremlins!
In my particular case, my Bristol dealer informed me last week that my August order wasn't going to arrive until late February! I cancelled that order as I wanted a car this side of Christmas.Another example of differences between dealers.

That's what is concerning me. With all those cars to get PDI'd for customers justifiably impatient to get their car, how can we be sure ALL aspects of the PDI are performed properly and not rushed through?Yes, it is a PDIng nightmare at the moment.
