We ordered ours today, well actually we managed to find one with our spec which was actually going into build this week, one the dealer had ordered for stock......

1.2 Sport
Bossanova White
Climate Control
Side rubbing strips with 500 badge
Split rear seats
Fixed glass roof
15" two tone alloys (439) (query on these but they can be changed later if the car has std sport wheels)

Delivery end of March

thats good, so one thats going into build already is estimated end March... reckon my dealer is being optomistic about mine being then
not long to wait eh

Oh and we drove a 1.3 diesel today. I thought it went OK for a small diesel, annoying lag when changing up gear but it certainly had enough poke to make it fun. A bit of ECU remapping should make it a decent performer.

I also thought it handled well on the open road, the only thing I would say that on the bumpy country lanes it was very bouncy, partly I guess to do with the fact that the wheels are out in the corners with a short wheelbase......similar to SWB landrovers, but possibly also contributed to by soft suspension. Again possibly a change in dampers and springs may improve that.

Nice one If it's going into build this week then you'll most likely have it before the end of March - think more... mid March

Mine went into build week commencing 4th Feb and is due in the UK on the 28th Feb

Thanks, we're telling ourself end of March, if it comes earlier then all the better. We are in Northern Ireland so not sure if it takes a few days longer if it is coming through UK......probably not.

Its a lot earlier than if we were ordering from scratch today.

Just need to find a buyer for a 97 Volvo V70

Apparently status as of 8th Feb was "In Build"

In that case it'll probably have been built by next week. I'd take a guess that would be a week 7 build. Those are due in the UK around the 3rd - 10th March

Excellent, thanks for that, sounds like it will be one of the first in NI, I think some dealers are expecting some end of Feb.

Cool

Jims should be there before then, he ordered some time ago...

I'm sure there will be a few, presumably any preorders will be delivered soon. Just haven't seen any on the road yet, certainly nothing in and around Belfast.

Just happy to be getting it in time for summer!
