My BW34 standard spec Tornado Red GTD finally changed to 'In Transit' overnight!  :grin:

It'd previously been sat in 'Build in Progress' for 11 days with VW UK unable to confirm what was actually happening.

I placed my order back in April but my dealer reckons they've got over 70 more recent GTD orders that they just can't get confirmed build weeks for... crazy!

Looks like I am a week behind you...confirmed build week 35, but still at "build in progress"...now been a week.

Seems to be that cars are going to "in transit"  10 -14 days after intially going to "build in progress"...wait continues!

Issue I have is collection at other side of country (Scotland to Kent)...flight prices going up all the time and reluctant to book without a delivery date.

I hope so, but then it  doesn't appear anyone would recommend a 500mile motorway cruise as the best way to run-in a new motor!

it appears that our GTDs are in transit together. Mine was a BW34 and went to in transit yesterday morning and still read 4 weeks for delivery and then this morning read 3 weeks to delivery

Go up the A1 - lots of roundabouts/stop start motoring to vary those revs!

Good call that. I always go A1(M) when I go oop north, not a bad drive.

Can you post some pics so we can share in the hilarity?

My dealer said either that or an up with no central locking or electric windows.

I will try and post some pics later.

I have tried to add the pics of the beetle I have been given but unable to do it for some reason. anyone able to help.
