That’s over £10000 cheaper than GB for a specced R20

Well that’s good news for you Aussies @mpv!   Whilst an expensive proposition for Oz, by comparison to UK, something of a bargain at that price and spec.

Quick update, on ferry as we speak, delivery expect w/c 5.6.23.

 

Delivery times coming down all of the time.

@voiceofreason, how long did it wait at the dock for? I’ve heard my car has been built and at the dock, but that’s all I know so far. What info should I be able to get from my dealer at this point?

My Car was built mid April and according to the dealer was 'released to ship' immediately. That was 4 weeks ago. Heard nothing since. Must be sitting at Emden in the 6,000 space car park!! Now over 2 years from I placed the order. 😬

dont forget about local taxes when comparing. 
 

VAT in UK @ 20% would add £9k.  (No idea about taxes applied in Aus, but they’ll be there😬)

My car was delivered today. Just snuck into the full 2-year timeframe from order to delivery. Such an amazing car and I can't wait to put some miles on it. Thank you to everyone for helping me get through this period. I washed it and clay barred it this evening so will hopefully post some pictures tomorrow. She's a beauty and everything I hoped for and more. To those waiting, you'll soon forget the wait once your car arrives, believe me!
