Lovely spec there Doctor D, few things a bit different too, which is nice to see.

Is it too rude to ask what the cash price was? I could work it out but I'm too lazy

The wait time for you guys is not that much. I ordered mine on March 6th, and estimated delivery is on May 28th. The wait is killing me!

I got my dealer to book a slot last week and firm up spec today....I believe it is still spec changeable until 8 days prior to production which is about 3 weeks from now.

Also....less distance to travel to UK from Germany helps

my car was ordered mid december for 1st april delivery then was built and delivered to dealer before end of January. If you want to change the spec don't hang about because it can get built any time now

TV & Teletext Function is a feature i really wanted, unfortunately its unavaiable to us over here. Btw, how did you manage to get a whopping 7% Discount! Thats pretty amazing.

Doc-
I have the identical color scheme ordered and should take delivery around mid-May. I liked the color better then Silver Gray but made the choice due to the inordinate number of silver vehicles on the road here in the states...it has been the most popular color choice for new vehicles for a few years. Congrats...

I've gone with black maple wood instead of poplar for that authentic "black hole" look
