My lovely Candy White Up is on a Boat from Germany to Grimsby. Should get it in a couple of weeks. He-Man building Dual Controls. Will I be the first Driving School in the UK to use the Up!

wow! theyll be some lucky learners to be learning in an up!

Do all the cars go to Grimsby, or do they go to other parts of the uk depending on how close each port is?

 

[P90KHL]

Would have thouht they all go there... otherwise I'd get mine sent to Southend LOL

 

[P90KHL]

Or to be more accurate Tilbury

 

[Rednaxela]

lol...
I googled it at lunch, and Grimsby does seem to be where all the VW's arrive..

Hi
My high up has been built (week 16)and I have a VIN of AAC005110 which I assume is the last 9 characters.

I am told it is on a boat. How do I find out which boat and when it will arrive in the UK and ultimately at my dealers in Solihull?

thanks
Kevin

It could be on this one:

Just a guess but left Emden and due to arrive in Grimsby tomorrow.

I am hoping mine is on this one as well.

Pardon me for being a little naive but what on earth does VIN mean ?

 

[buzlightyear]

Vehicle identity number.

 

[Kat2110]

DOH !! Thank you , feel a right numpty now

 

[buzlightyear]

Don't feel a numpty - I'm an old man and you pick up stuff on the journey!

Thank R1ch for the information, and looking at that link you put up the boat will be docking soon as it is virtually at GrimsbyIf I lived closer I would go and watch all the Up! being unloaded

Thats what i call dedication !

 

[Rednaxela]

Lol, if this is the ship, I think it may be lost...

 

[Rednaxela]

I just checked again, and it's arrived.. Must have been a glitch, because it looks ok now.. Hope my car is on board..

 

[Mumski1]

How do you get the VIN number ?? I'm build week 17 and would love to trace it

 

[ZumbaQueen]

Hope that track is not all that boat, the captain may need to be breath checked at Grimsby!

 

[kg149]

Just checked again and the boat has now left Grimsby and is sailing past Norwich on its way back to EmdenSo if our cars are on there then they are now docked in the Uk and ready to move out to the dealer?

I cannot believe that nobody has posted this here yet!
I hope you get your ups soon
