Title: R32 late delivery
Post by: JRD on 22 March 2007, 12:32

I ordered a new R32 in late January and delivery was expected in the second or third week of March.
I have now been told that the car is stuck in the port at Antwerp due to an industrial dispute and delivery will be delayed.
Has anybody else had this problem?

Not been given the dispute story, but my Edition 30 was a build week 7 (ordered 13/1/07) was told it would be here 1st week of March, then it was put two weeks back, last week a priority tag was put on it after i complained there was still no news. I have been told that there are problems with backlogs and extra ships have been laid on, latest as of yesterday is maybe on ship on Friday!! but who knows ? Am off on holiday on Tuesday for two weeks so will be mid April for me. :angry: not happy at all, have to surrender my car before i go away as the MOT runs out while i am away and i refuse to spend money on it ( needs four new tyres for a start, running on slicks), so it better be here when i get back or i am stuffed.

The dealer range yesterday to say my car is on the ship. With a bit of luck I should get it next weekend.
Can't wait.
