Haven't got mine yet, and I'm BW13, like you. What colour is yours? Mine's white. Maybe they're doing the white ones at the end of the week.

Hopefully my notification is imminent. To all intents and purposes, you have a white car too (with a blight black sticker/wrap on the roof. Is yours a GTI+? With or without Brescia wheels?

I've been on VWs own website for the tracking, in case text updates were slow. Still stage 3 on there for me.

Aye GTI+, White with Black roof, 18s and a bunch of options, everything but the £1k seats, sunroof and nav.

Hopefully you’ll get notification tomorrow as I reckon mine was basically to say, it’s on it’s way to the dock.

All those patiently waiting for delivery of there GTI+, keep tabs on three other vehicle carriers other than the Glovis Spring. These other three have either docked at Port Elizabeth or are underway to ZA PLZ, Grand Dahlia, Glovis Crown and the Glovis Sunlight which have all been within the last few days/week. :)

My money is on the Glovis Sunlight for my car, was looking at the ships/port yesterday, the Sunlight gets into Port Elizabeth on March 30th.

I'd noticed the Sunlight was heading in to PE tonight as well, fingers crossed ours cars get on it.

Anyone who has already had a car shipped, does the tracker update when the cars are on a ship or is it only info you can get from your dealer?

Tracker stays on In Transit. I had to email my dealer to find out the ship. :)

Has it just updated to in transit today? If so it probably won't be on a ship yet.

Mine updated on the 7th of March. My dealer said it was 'likely' to be on the Glovis Spring. Would like to think it is as the ship was in Port Elizabeth on the 13th of March.

Your dealer should know exactly which ship your car is on by now surely?

Mine was built 13th March and is on grand dahlia.
I'm sure some of you will also have cars on this.

To be honest I haven't been in contact with them since it went into transit. Might give them a call over the weekend to find out for sure.

Oh wow that's 12 days from being built until it was on a ship and got under way as the Grand Dahlia only left PE on the 25th, I shall adjust my expectations accordingly! :shock:
