That seems to be the current position for a new car to order.

In practice it will probably be a bit less as people drop out and extra allocations are provided.

Worth considering a 'pre-owned' /'as new'example. You might pay a bit of a premium, but could be worthwhile to enjoy the new GT3 asap and residuals should stay healthy for at least a year or so.

Nah, not yet, haven't found that elusive one yet !

Although, I did go for a ride in a very nice GT3RS last night, which blew me away, so now I'm even more anxious !! bounce

When's the big day for you ?

I'm now counting the days down till the end of this month as mine should be ready for a 1 April collection
I ordered mine in May last year but asked for a delay until April as its a Birthday present from me to...ME!!

I think you might have to wait another 24 hours, unless your OPC is open on a Sunday - in which case that's not fair because mine isn't !!!

If they're not open normally on a Sunday then they will be on that day!! There's always Sat 31 March - can you drive away if tax disc starts 1 April??

Wow you guys have to wait a while over there. I have a new GT3 and RS available for delivery this month(pre-specced), and then 2 RSs for the following month. I guess there's more of a market over there.

Well you can, but it must be registered ie. March before you'll get your hands on it, then you will be on the road illegally without tax.
I was told by OPC I could get mine taxed for the last week in March only, without paying the full month though.

Yes, right hand drive. Going rate is quite pricey though! 1.5 million Rand for GT3 and about 1.8 mill. for RS. So, you're paying about 30% more for a car here.

Yes, thats right, new cars can be registered for a year + 1 week if you wanted to take car in March !

After being told a couple of weeks ago of 7th March build, I've now been informed of a 1 week delay until 14th.
Seems that the build dates are guestimates only, I don't suppose this is too uncommon ???
Anyway will hopefully still be ready for 2nd April.
