Isn't that GT silver ie£1k premium over metallic?
Saw a couple in the flesh and didn't think it was worth the extra.
The picture looks stunning(as do the rest in the brochure) but I think it is not a true representation.
£1k is a lot of wodge, but GT Silver is definitely a lovely colour.Saw a couple in the flesh and didn't think it was worth the extra.

I agree the pictures look stunning and we were all set to order it and then when we went to the dealer in bright sunlight they had all of the silvers parked outside and it didn't look different enough to warrant the extra. This is why we swerved to aygate and then the saving on the paint went on the electric seats

that's my completion date too
Did they give you est del date too?They are saying 7-10 days after to me which sounds a touch optimistic no?
apparently, they get told that the lorry is coming with the car the day before the lorry turns up.

Yes pretty much everything ticked but not leather on dashboard. The mrs would go nuts if she knew how much, and it is her car!
10th may completion.
What no PTV? You're not really trying to get the price up ... 10th may completion.
Not many people seem to have gone with the PTV/LSD!
I must confess I had a spec panic earlier in the week wondereding if I should have gone with full leather rather than the LSD, but the car was in production and it was far too late! So many options and such a long time to wait for the car means lots of time to worry about what you have specced and especially what you haven't!
I set myself a limit of £60K (after dropping the 3rd year warranty) and in the end I got to within a few pounds, so the choice was full leather and drop LSD and Auto aircon or PDLS. As I'm keen on a straight black interior I felt the dash would be fine.
GT Silver and full leather would have been the nicest, but that would have added another £2.5K ...
Looks like a bunch of us have cars completing within a few days and probably sharing a boat across. I'm expecting 2-3 weeks for delivery, unless some unusual delay, so I'll be happy if I can collect on or before 1st June.
Let's just hope it's stopped raining by then!
Cheers,
Geoff
Getting PTV...didn't order it at first, but then I thought I might regret it and changed the order. No full leather though :P
Was also told in the region of 9 days for delivery (completes 21st, told approx the 30th for handover). So will be following you guys with early May completion dates with interest, I also thought it was rather optimistic!

I've already been told that I won't be taking this near the track (I have a dedicated track car for that I was told) but I may sneak in a cheeky Bedford evening one day!
The options were getting out of hand. Would have loved full leather. PTV I don't think I would have got full benefit from on the road and was quite expensive
I have a new everyday car coming in Sept/oct. I have a place booked but not specced. Where I think it will be c£65k others are suggesting it will be more like £70k so I need to save some for that ! It has a form of ptv as std though so won't have that problem!
