New GTI

[JackM_24]

Mine arrived at Grimsby this afternoon from experience does anyone know roughly how long from arriving at port to arriving at the dealership from experience, so close now.

It looks like mine, Samb1992, rm55mcc are on the same schedule heading for the uk - hopefully, soon!

From what my dealer said, it takes up to 72hours to get to a dealership and then 36 to prep the car!

So we should have them in about 2 weeks then???

Normally it can take up to 2 weeks to come from the factory to the uk and then the further 72 and 36 hours once in the uk according to the dealer. Looking at AIS now and there's a boat docking in Grimsby tonight that has come from Santander on the 30th of September so the cars could possibly be on that!

Think Andy gets his car today. Looking forward to his comments after a pretty epic wait.

I'm looking forward to it too! Fair to say I wouldn't be so calm with the Dealer after the wait he's had! Hope he's been treated like royalty!

Yes you right - I saw that one on AIS and it's currently sitting outside the port and I'm wondering if it's waiting to come in as there's a vehicle carrier called Sea Cruiser 1 allready in port and that mine is on City of Rome but it only went to Transit on Sunday so it could be on Tosca which is still in Santander. I'll wait and see!

There does seem to be an improvement on time on some, apart from some obvious exceptions! I had notification that mine arrived in the UK this morning, which is quicker than I expected. I need to sell my car sooner than I thought! I was planning for a early Nov collection. I'm probably the only one who wants to push it back a bit!

Placed order 10th Aug
B/W confirmed 28th Aug
B/W was w/c 21st Sep - had notification it was built and in transit on 22nd Sep!
Notification it has arrived in UK this morning

Dealer reckons 4/5 days so around 9/10 weeks from start to finish.

Black manual, 5 door - most options ticked.
