Car now confirmed as "In Transit". A bit surprised as not supposed to be built until wk 8 (wk commencing 18/2). Any idea average time form In Transit status to "Arrived in UK" and/or "Arrived at Dealers"?

Many thanks.

My up! was delivered two weeks after I have been noticed that the car was built. I fact the dealer had to put in some extra equipment in the car which took two days.

Here's hoping then - many thanks for that.

In Transit means its off the production line, It could be a week or two before it finds its way on to a ship, I know there is a bit of a back log of cars waiting to be shipped to the UK at the moment.

Dealer called me today and said 1st week March - that works! Better than 1st week April I suppose.

Not long now then. I am sure you will be very happy with your purchase.

Where did this info come from please as not heard anything of this nature from dealer or from the Skoda CityGo forum? - thanks.

I was curious to find out the route our Up!s take when being transported from the Bratislava factory. I did some searching and found this...

Look at slide 11. The Touareg is built "alongside" the Up!. It takes 7 days of land transport just to get to the docks at Bremerhaven. I think it can be assumed that Up!s follow this land route too.

scotkat - good find. Thanks. I think maybe 2-3 week from build to dealer.

Mine spent a week at Sheerness docks as well waiting for transport.
