Stick a Duratec in it, pronto

Call me a forum *****.(Seloc)

Hi Brian, the high up represents great value and the M&M tech should be fun to use too. Welcome to the forum.

Hey I ordered a Mayan blue move up with m&m on February 1st and it's hear already for collection on March 1st for 14 plate must of been lucky for just a four week wait!

 

[Bman]

Well I can believe I've been spotted so quickly Glen, don't think there would be enough space for the Duratec under the bonnet

Do you have one?

Thanks Alan...

Very lucky to get your Morgan for 1st of March, I'm keeping a close eye on the web page hoping they speed up the build of mine.

UP seems to be 'flavour of the month' with elise drivers.

We could have a sub forum on SELOC

I hope your UP doesn't disappear in the way your elise did.

Hi I have ordered Mayan blue take up mine in Germany waiting to get on the boat dealers says won't be here for a few weeks yet they not loading boats in Germany due to adverse weather conditions, can't wait though so excited

Update:

Step 5 of 7: Your car is in the final stage of its journey to the UK. On average it takes 10 days from build for this model to reach your local Volkswagen Retailer.

I had the same email yesterday. I guess ours might be on the same boat.

My build date was the 9th March so it seems to have gone through pretty quick. Here are the text notifications I have got.

Tues 11th March
Your up! order no. 2405xxxx has progressed to stage 5a of 7 (in transit: left factory).
Sat 15th March
Your up! order no. 2405xxxx has progressed to stage 5b of 7 (in transit: shipping).
Tues 18th March
Your up! order no. 2405xxxx has progressed to stage 5c of 7 (in transit: near the UK).

I wonder how near near is?

 

[scuba_2903]

I guess it was near as just had another text.

Weds 19 March
Your up! order no. 2405xxxx has progressed to stage 6 of 7 (arrived in UK).

Says it can take up to 7 days to reach the dealer but I guess it depends how far from the port it is.

Mine took 8 days to get from the port to the dealer (Northampton).

 

[scuba_2903]

As my dealer said it should be ready for collection early April that sounds about right.I guess it depends what port its at.

 

[Fidel_Castronaut]

I'm excited and I've already got mine! Hope you all take pictures

Yep Scuba they must be on same boat, as I have had exactly the same messages at exactly same time.

11th March - Left Factory (4 weeks left)
15th March - Next Stage to UK (3 weeks left)

I've not had my dealer ring me yet, but as everything so far has been quicker than specified in the notifications hopefully it will continue.
