just had UK Carline call this morning with a delivery date of 11th Feb to my house

happy days, ordered October so not to bad.

Great news. Not that much notice though especially if you need to arrange leave from work etc but can't complain too much can we  :laugh:

Good news. Is it coming with a March Registration then?

I ordered Jan 29th. My build week will apparently be 202513, so that's the week of 24th of March. In case anyone is curious as to current lead times.

That makes it 7.5 weeks from order to build week.

How long after that until delivery?

Yes they said it would be registered on 25 plate.

This will be my first VW car I tried ordering an alternative when they first came about can't mind the reason but build date kept being moved and eventually gave up cancelled it.

Glad this one came through eventually looking forward to delivery now.

No idea. I think that depends on a bunch of different factors.
