He says that the cars are obliged to clear the port within two days so its looking good! The car will be at the dealer late week 20 or start of week 21.

I ordered the car on the 8th March 2013. Build was scheduled for week 17 but started at the end of week 16. Delivery looks like week 20/21.

I'm well chuffed - assuming it all goes as planned!
Interesting news, thanks for the update. One can only assume our cars are on the same boat, assuming mine was built as planned...
