My dad has been told to expect to get his mitts on his on Friday or Saturday this week. From going into "in transit" status last Thursday. There have 2 ships leave Emden for the port of Tyne since that status update. The "City of Paris" arrived in port of Tyne this morning and the "City of Amsterdam" arrives tomorrow evening at 5pm.
If i'm home from work early enough, i'll be able to see it sail in to the Tyne from the bottom of my street (we overlook the River Tyne, about 3/4 of a mile in from the mouth).
Expedience in unloading and UK transport may rely uopn which port your car is arriving too. I would expect Sheerness to be a hell of a lot busier than port of Tyne. It's also a quick turnaround port as it will probably be loading up Nissans from the Sunderland plant for it's onward journey (if that journey is outside the UK).
Having the supplying dealership a mere 8 miles from the port can only help the cause also.
All those VW figures are worst case figures. I would expect a Scirocco or EOS from Portugal to take longer to get to the UK than a Wolfsburg Golf and I would expect a Mexican Beetle to take a hell of a lot longer. Even so, Wolfsburg to UK can easily take place within 4 days if you can jump on the next ship.
