Just had an email from the dealer to say that the car is on the boat! Not sure how long that means left to wait but its nearly in the country at last.

Roughly 10 days in my experience.

Landed in Grimsby, hopefully not dredged up by a trawler. Im trying to see if I can get it registered early as it's now in the country to avoid the extra tax, so I'm chasing the dealer as we speak. I have a friend in the industry who says it should be possible, but not holding out much hope as they previously said they would need it at the dealership before it could be registered.

Good luck with that.  I don't think dealers are bothered, even though it can mean a big difference for most people.  Hopefully your dealer will be one of the good guys and pull out all the stops.
