How many people on here have a delivery stated as ‘by feb 1st’?
that is what my contract says but no news of production yet and with the comment above regarding lead time to delivery from production it would seem extremely unlikely that my delivery will be as suggested in the contract.

Which year? :unsure:
Just got off the phone with my dealer in Germany. My Grenadier will be built in January. He can't see an exact day in the system. He reckons the car should be on site around mid-February. That's all he can say. Why some customers are given exact manufacturing days is beyond me. Also, why VIN numbers have probably already been communicated.

When I signed my contract last September at my dealers place he told me the production was foreseen in January, for delivery in February or March. Beginning of December I asked him again, and no changes in the planning (according to him), but no details (production date or VIN (Vehicle Identification Number).
I'll await half January to ask him the status, as I know that pushing my dealer will not help anyway. I only want to know because I have to prepare the money :cool:

"ESTIMATED delivery by: 01/02/2023"

6 weeks sounds a little too long and for obvious reasons I'd prefer to believe the timescales suggested by Justin Hocevar which for UK would be more like 30 days.

Isn't this just info that Ineos Customer Services are giving out rather than agents? If so I'd assume the Customer Services just have "internal" access to systems that agents don't.

Each time I read "Zeebrugge" I want to take my car, go to the port (less than one hour drive) and see if they didn't drop a Grenadier from the ship. Only problem, the steering wheel is on the right side of the car, and the steel bumpers aren't allowed in Europe :cry:
By the way: Zeebrugge is "Zeebrugge, West-Vlaanderen, Belgium, Europe!"

I am in fact right handed. The 1st time I was in a RHD car as the front seat passenger my mind was blown. I was 20-something and just couldn’t get over sitting where I always sit and there was no steering wheel or instrumentation.

When I first drove one it felt impossibly awkward. Shifting lefty was bizarre and I couldn’t get used to looking up and left for the rear-view mirror.

The colonials being awkward again - the right side is the correct side. :)

Regarding delivery on 1 February, I think we will all be surprised if that happens. But any time in February would be very acceptable.

Ineos really need to look at a version of this to save anyone fighting:

Yes, but would you then wait for a 1st March registration?

saying that, even though i was given a jan/feb delivery date, I've still not had a contract!
