Well, finally got it this morning, even came complete with 2 keys.! 
Even staff at the dealers cant understand why it has arrived, no logic in the production/delivery at all it seems. |

Our son in law got a price of £9k from WBAC for his car a couple of weeks ago, because of work he could not take it to them for 10 days.
When he got there he was expecting to 'lose' a bit off the ... |

Seems to have been a sudden rush of these made.

I also have a V8 90 which was supposed to be ready end of August, now I can't even get an idea of when it will be ready.
Having had one for a day, I cant wait to get my hands on my own. |
