Out of interest what estimated delivery times have your R's been given from order to delivery to the dealer?  I have about just under a six month wait for my R.  That's with almost all options added on.  So a car with less should theoretically have a shorter turn around, accounting for the dealer's monthly allocation as well of course.   :smiley:

My Spec is similar with a couple differences which I believe may have contributed to my order being delayed last time i.e. Oryx White paint being one of them.  It may also be due to me missing the dealers allocation when I ordered.

For me, it will be interesting to see if the lighter spec R's ordered later than mine get delivered much earlier? IT was the same scenario with my GTI PP, where lighter spec GTI's ordered a month or two after mine were being delivered earlier than mine.

Last time I found it was a case of the dealer having a slot already in the build system that they modified into my booking.  It's funny though that when I am not in a hurry the order always seems to arrive quickly !
