There are many 2022 Alpines specced by dealers looking to find homes in the next couple of months. Still many 2021 cars for sale and demonstrators sticking. 63 new and used cars on Autotrader (and increasing) which is massive in relation to the number of annual registrations.

Cars to order are available in much quicker than before.

Many other brands have no new cars available for many months and some not until 2023.

Seems like supply is far outstripping demand at the moment or am I missing something?

Agree on used but 38 are brand new. Seems way too high. Were there not only around 200 new cars registered in 2021 including dealer demonstrators?

This has been mentioned before and it has been suggested that a lot of the new cars that are "available" are actually just pre-orders and aren't really in showrooms. Has anyone been quoted less than about 6 months for a bespoke order?
All the 2021 cars are in the showroom and available.

To qualify my comment on demos it appears that one has been sold at Orpington as it has been removed from Autotrader since my post.

Enjoy, nice car. I pass Orpington Alpine regularly so have seen your car on the forecourt.
