    Looking good Neil. Yours is the first one I have seen with the fancy bumper and 2 tone wheels. I had that ordered for my Hse Luxury initially, but sadly opted for the First Edition instead. Crying or Very sad

    Maybe a bit less, it sat for a while after being built in between the factory and the compound when the dealer could call it down. Normally this is 24/48 hours but it was in that state for well over a week and that coincided with the March peak and deliveries starting, and someone else mentioned transport delays. Mine was originally due to arrive at the dealer on the 24th of March so has moved forward from that, as it arrived last night.

    Excellent choice Jim. Thumbs Up I think the surround cameras will be a life saver. I loved the silver in the First Edition, as this made the car stand out as it had a greenish purple tinge too it when it hit the light. Am not a fan of silver, but the D5 suits it. however, I opted for farallon black instead though. Tbh I wish I just stayed with the Hse Luxury after all the TV hassle I have had Sad

    Actually I just double checked and the build was actually the week later (i.e. it was due to be built in the week ending 17th). I got confirmation is was built but between Solihull and Gaydon on the 18th, but it stayed in limbo until middle of this week when I last checked, and arrived last night. I wasn't expecting it to have arrived this morning.

    Original delivery slot was 22nd of March, then the 24th when I added the heated steering wheel on the 18th of Jan which was when the spec was locked.

    I was told to expect it to move forward, and they were confident it would be in March, especially when they got their engines back.
