Also, when I ordered it I wanted a Sports Steering Wheel but was told I can olny order it with the Sports pack, so I didn't. Since reading this forum I've found it can be ordered now but when I rang the dealer to get it added, they told me it was too late as the spec couldn't be changed! How long does it take to build these cars?

I see its an option on the list shown above but I'm always weary of having the dealer refit a steering wheel as invariably it points at 11 o'clock!

I get the feeling the dealer wants me to cancel the order so they can have the car!

When I can I'll right a new post asking for delivery times from fellow members but until then any stories would be welcome.
Welcome, what spec did you order (colour combo + options)

My dealer had to circumvent the system to add the sports wheel to my order it did take him 5 mins, your dealer is lazy or ill-informed (or both, like most others )

Ordered mine 15th Nov and due 14th April, so your mid May deliver sounds spot on
