New JCW Clubman arriving early

[Dolf Stoppard]

My new JCW Clubman was due at the end of July, but with the widely publicised chip shortages I was sure it would be delayed. Dealer called today to confirm the car should be delivered to the PDI centre next week with delivery to me at the start of July. Cannot wait!

Excellent news, post an update when you get it. We have a JCW hatch due for delivery at the end of the month, we only placed the order mid-May so fingers crossed

Out of interest, I'm assuming yours doesn't have the HK audio? It's currently a source of frustration for my wife as we've been told we won't be getting the HK system now due to the chip shortages...

No, HK wasn't on my order - I've seen your post about your own experience. I feel your pain though as the digital dash which was due to be standard was dropped unless I added Nav Plus. I didn't really want to, but the deal through Park Lane / the military scheme was so good I went for it in the end.

That’s where I have ordered my car from, fantastic discount. Are you collecting or having it delivered?

I went for delivery. Probably a bit silly but just seemed the easiest (laziest) option!

I'm liking the sound of an enclosed trailer! I would have thought though that it goes to the dealer for PDI unless you opted not to have this?

[Dolf Stoppard]

Interesting. I was told Park Lane have a PDI centre in Kent which is where the usual pre delivery / paint protection work is carried out. I had the option of collecting from there or the dealership in London, which I know a lot of people go for. I've never heard of a car having a PDI at the factory. Either way, I quite like a new car being delivered to the house. All very exciting!

I'm getting mine via issd but I'm eligible for it though the IAM rather than the forces. I got 16% discount which I was chuffed with, I don't know if they do different rates for the different categories.

When my order form came though for me to sign it had a charge for £300 for delivery so I queried it. It's now been removed and I'm collecting from park Lane for no charge.

It's a great deal, it really is. I think it's the same discount no matter how you qualify, but obviously varies from model to model and time of ordering. I so nearly went for a 128ti but changed at the last minute to a JCW Clubman. Discount is just under 20 percent. What did you go for?
