Give Pentagon a call.

As said earlier, the order has been placed. If there was a black one already landed, I assume they would be giving it to me already, as apparently all dealers are allowed to transfer new car stock, no?

Pentagon have a new demo in black at there Burton site.

They would not want to sell it last time I checked.

The Burton black one is out and about this weekend. I'll be viewing it on Wednesday. Tempted, maybe, just maybe. :-)

As a quick update, we have ordered Black and white

Now, as much as the white one is in the net, the black one (my one) is drifting somewhere and has just left the production plant on Friday a week ago. I know that someone has managed to get a link for live tracking when buying one of these.

Any idea if it may be possible at all? And should I speak to the dealer, or ask Mr Dougie?

The Dwarf should be able to help, I tracked mine, very frustrating though.

Where do I find the Dwarf? Frustrating? You mean like "is the car there yet" frustrating?

Tracking stuff on water isn't easy. The shipping lines tend to be a bit slow to pass on info.

I had a shipment of cars arrive a week late because it had to avoid a typhoon - they only told us it was late when we rang up a couple ofcdays before the day it was due to check it was on schedule.

I now use Marinetraffic.com to track stuff, although they can be out of range. Also that only works if they've given you the correct vessel name, which can get confused if it transhipped someplace.

Panama canal? It must have gone on the same route as the US Export Holdens and then come across the Atlantic.

A few dealers have stock at the moment
Aberdeen
Burton upon trent
''Picador southampton have 4''
Bellingers Wantage
And i think slaters may still have their demo

Going on that knowledge I stopped at Picadors yesterday just to have a nosey as ive not seen a Gen-F yet (made dam sure I did it when they were shut though just in case I did something silly) I could only see one in the showroom, a green one, my god it looked nice.

Id love to know how much it would cost to buy...... im just to dam scared to go in and ask!

There was a red one sat outside the Chandlers Ford branch when I went past last week.
