As above,  it'll be built by the time it shows build in progress on the tracker.

Looking forward to it but lots I need to do before she arrives.

eeeeeeeeee excited!

just went back and checked
I ordered 9/11/2013 and confirmed build date is week commencing 15/12/2013..that must be somebody elses cancelled car I have been able  to latch onto?!

Just noticed this.  I only ordered a few days before hand and got week 51. they have really reduced lead times recently.

Excellent, all going well will we be looking at around 4 weeks until collection?

[C2K]

It will all hinge around whether the vehicle leaves the factory before  the 2 week shut down I guess.

I had to go to euro car parts this morning anyway so i popped into vw next door. Mine was in production,  showing as gate 1, apparently chassis construction,  so just about to get a vin no.

I don't think they have - lead in for a custom, factory order GTD is still around 24 weeks - mine was ordered week 1 of November - no allocated build week yet and don't expect to see a production week allocated until well in to next year. I suspect you have also tapped in to a cancelled or pre-order slot.

With Dcc,  Dynaudio,  winter pack,  leather,  19s, camera and night blue mine is hardly an off the rack build,  it's as custom as any man's build.  Talking to my dealer today he commented on reduced lead times,  but it's definitely not a slot of theirs. They are quite a small dealer (non chain)  and he hadnt cancelled any orders so if that's the case i must be extremely lucky. If i were you i'd be questioning my dealer not just letting it lie! Perhaps an element of your choice is inhibiting an expedient build.   

[Mark V GTD]

Its not neccessarily a slot your dealer had. Fact is virtually everyone who has ordered a GTD at that time was quoted 24 - 26 weeks. You have been allocated an earlier one, perhaps a factory production level - so you were lucky but there is no indication thet build times have suddenly been cut in half.

[stuart.cameron]

When I ordered I was quoted around 20 weeks.
