Ordered - now the fun begins

[NickHeynes]

I've had a courtesy call from my dealer who has my MG4 order . He said due to issues at the docks (re car software problems) they haven't had any MG4 deliveries yet, even for demo/showroom, and they haven't been given a date for when some may arrive. I asked about possible timing of my order delivery and he said 16 weeks and when I asked about their initial allocations he said they still hadn't been told what cars to expect. I'm grateful for their courtesy call, and it does seem like some dealers have this issue, whereas some have actually received their first batch of cars for customers (albeit that might have software issues). People talking about what is in a dealer's second batch, when some dealers don't yet know what's in their first batch!

I've just spoken to Glyn Hopkins East London who the confirmed the port delay ( no reason given) but said that they're frustrated because they had customer cars coming through before their demo/showroom vehicles

But at least they've had some cars coming through! It would be interesting to know if this is regional, so the delay is affecting the East only.

I still can't work out how the matts are £99?!

Maybe they are made from unicorn fur....

The 8 weeks sounds about right, there is literally a boat load coming over, should arrive in Bristol in around 3 weeks.

Can you point me in the direction of some link to these or to the name of the vessel so I can trace her and keep tabs? Any other sources gratefully received,

Many thanks in anticipation.

I found this:

New shipping route reduces delivery time of MG vehicles

New route will help realize the company’s goal.

news.mgmotor.eu

Found an older post saying SAIC Anji Phoenix and SAIC Anji 27

And you can track ships on vesselfinder.com.
