No idea, I’m in no major rush. Who did you order from?

I ordered from Clivebrook volvo

The reason they can give you that date is because they have build dates secured for X amount of vehicles and they know that they are due to arrive at the dealer for mid-end of March. All they are doing is allocating your name to one of the build slots already secured.

Same date as me. What's the chances of arriving by then? It's only 6 weeks away so very ambitious considering it's just been ordered....
What kind of registration plate will these cars be on? (I'm from NI so don't really know how your registrations work in the Uk)

If it's that late in March, I'd be surprised if it doesn't come on an 18 plate

Just got back from the dealers and ordered mine. They made a few calls and matched the best price I had been quoted on from the dealers on carwow..
I was going to choose bursting blue metallic paint but after seeing it in the sunshine I thought it was to much like BMW estoril blue so went for the dark grey in the end..
I am in no rush for it so selected a may delivery but could have got it a lot sooner...

I was really torn between that and Osmium grey but went Osmium in the end.

They had the 2 greys outside in the sun and I liked them both.. In the end I went with the darker colour because the wing mirrors are in a light grey and it would be more of a contrast.. I might be wrong but I am not that fussed as it makes a change by not getting it in black..

No-one getting a red one? It looks fantastic in this colour.

I went with Osmium as the savile grey looks like a matt black once there's a bit of dirt on the car. Know what you mean with the contrast on the mirrors though.

Can't agree there I'm afraid
Went for a sniff at the dealers today who had a red R design which looked challenging to say the least

My main interest was seeing if our large dog would be ok in the profiled boot which I'm now not sure about.

I was offered a test drive with the dog which I'll certainly do when I have time but do any of you have dogs and wish to share experience please

Cheers

MYOB, I have two dogs, the biggest one is a German Shephard, there is plenty of room for her and the other one in the boot. I have ordered the fold down dog guard as well to stop them from climbing over the back seats

What dog do you have?

I have a V60 which has a profiled roof and get 2 medium size dogs in there easily.

Not mine - google turned up the photo and then the thread
It's a lot of car

[BensZ4MC]

Anyone driven a T4 yet? I think they should be landing at dealers around now..

Mine is confirmed for delivery week ending 25th March, to be ready for pickup the following week

[soupdragon1]

Seen some YouTube videos of ambient lighting strips around dash and door panels. Does R Design have these I wonder?

You ordered through Andy as well didn't you Snake? Did he call/email to tell you?
