Hi All, first post but looking forward to getting my Formentor. Seems I’ve been incredibly lucky. I went to my local dealer last week, test drive completed and I was sold. Wanted hybrid, Graphene grey, pano VZ2 spec. Dealer informed they had that spec but in desire red on its way as a demo due any day. Snapped their hand off and got a great deal, due to collect this coming Friday.

Desire Red is amazing in the flesh, seen a VZ2 310 in the same colour locally. Pictures don't do it justice!

Looks like our friend in Barcelona hasn’t left yet - must be on a lunch break
It’s heading to Tanger Med, Morocco next! It would need to pass there to get to the UK anyway! It will arrive there on the 10th then we will see where it goes next!

I’m using Vesselfinder.com, it says it’s still at Barcelona, which link are you using if you don’t mind sharing? When do you think it’ll arrive to the UK?

I have been using VesselFinder as well as Marine Traffic, It must update first on marine traffic but it has still not left Barcelona yet. I have no clue if I’m honest it might go from Morocco to Belgium/France before it comes to the UK.

It can also stop off at Setubal in Portugal on route as well

[uk]Ordered by the dealer on 05/02 quoted 4 months lead time but im semi skeptical
V2 1.5tsi DSG
only options
spare wheel
petrol blue leather
midnight black

is it too late to call to add the driving pack (dealer said no point but my research suggests that its linked to the BLIS/lane assist and couple other things) if anyone has had experience with this
thanks in advance

I am not too sure how it works nowadays, when I ordered a Smart car (yes I know, it was a Smart car), I managed to add the sound package a week after I ordered the car but that was only due to the fact the car hadn’t been even started on yet from the factory. I think nowadays, due to the whole chip crises, they assign you a build week based off the configuration you chose which allows them to ensure they’ve got enough parts/chips to make your build happen, if you add anything in, this may change or even alter the time it’ll take to get delivered.

Forgive me if I am wrong, but that’s my assumption on things.
