I’ve just had a great email to say my build slot moved from Q2 2022 to November 2021!

Happy about that to say the least :)

Merry Christmas.

I think I‘m sticking with black.

I've seen the mamba in the flesh twice now and don't understand what she means. I went out with her and another couple the other night and my mate agreed with her! some mate! he loved it in black...too many black and white ones on the road for my liking lol

Mamba is a great colour - stick with it if you like it.

I’ve always liked black cars and want something low key that I can take to customer sites. Also black makes the car look a little less huge. I was going for the grey originally, then white so perhaps I’m just boring.

Hey congrats - curious as to when you placed your order and what your original freeze-build start dates were - was the Q2 2022 an original delivery date or build date or like so many of us an altered date?

So make a compromise and go with ----- frozenberry :CWL::CWL:

Otherwise, mamba green looks excellent. It was #3 on my list, until wife decided ;)

Order confirmed August 12th 2021 - so I'm guessing the dealer had a customer cancel or a demo car in order.

No idea on freeze dates as I'm going through an intermediary salary sacrifice car scheme.

Ah, that would make sense - was hoping some sort of magically missed stash of semiconductors had been found in a warehouse and we were all going to have our initial build dates restored - guess not :)!
My order was confirmed/allocated in mid-July 2021 - but got bumped from a Nov delivery to a mid-Jan 2022 delivery i.e. read Feb :(

Looks like a nice spec, although I can't get on board with the frozen blue ;)

How long before the build slot do they lock them in then? I'm still not 100% on my wheels (never liked black wheels and I've chosen black mission E with the silver rim in favour over the titanium colour).

Awaiting my frozen berry. Anything but black and white. Living in Glasgow having a green or blue car means I can’t go to parts of the city.
