They'll make an exception for UK Phaetons (who'd buy one though? Who wants a VW badge on an £80k car?)
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

I can see nothing on that link states that you can't collect a car ordered outside of Germany or Austria.

As said previously, the dealer has informed me that I can fill in a form and they will provide the necessary documentation for me to collect the car. (They do this on a regular basis)

An update since then, the car will be insured by chassis number with a temporary license plate (Dealers trade plate) (I've done this before with American imports thinking about it), import taxes will be pre-paid, cross referenced to the chassis no. once the car arrives and it will be taken to DVLA and the correct plate issued.

ah ok seen it...

I don't think my dealer will be letting me jet off to Germany to collect if it's not possible though.

Would you seriously go if you could?!  As much as I'm looking forward to getting it, that would be a major headache in my view  :grin:  Happy to just collect from my dealer!

If I had the chance to collect from the factory I would probably go.

(If nothing else its something to plan in the 6 months waiting time.)
