I think what the chap means is that many customers will wait till Sep, not VW, to get the new 63 plate.

Maybe.  :lipsrsealed:

Yes, I'd think that was what he meant too. The factory closedown will push the cars towards late August so you may as well wait the extra time for the plate change. Given the option I would.

If mine is built in week 33 I will be waiting for the new plate should it arrive early - 2 weeks after the Monday of BW33 is literally a couple of days until September. I can wait those extra few days and get the new plate.

At this rate I'll be wondering what model year 15 changes will be affecting my car as it arrives mid 14 plate!!!  :laugh:

40 last I heard. Mid April order, no spec changes. Suspected allocation queue from dealer. C'est la vie.

I love your optimism monkeyhanger that you believe you will get your car 2 weeks after build  :laugh:

My guess is mid Sep therefore we'll both have the new plate  :cool:

It is a definite possibility. Look at HA54SYM's entries on the delivery thread - it arrived in the UK yesteday, 6 days after appearing "in transit" on the tracker. That car will probably be at the dealership in 2 or 3 days time. Benfield's "for sale" full UK spec GTI seemingly only took 9 days assuming it was built at the start of BW22. 2 weeks is looking very favourable, unless volume increases for the new plate deliveries affect how quickly the cars get a space on a ship to the UK

So considering my week build is estimated week 33, and it still shows as 'still processing' on the website, when could I reasonably expect a delivery?

Consensus is 2-4 weeks post BW for delivery and prep and so forth.  So wk 36-38 (allowing them a week to build it).  So that is about mid-September I think.

EDIT:
Corrected for awful maths error.
