This is similar to my story.
On 1st October 21 at the Dealers in Warrington, I ordered - VRS iV Hatch in Black with Winter Pack, Rear-view Camera and Blind Spot detection.
At the time of Order 01/10/2021, the dealer was hoping for around the end of April delivery (but he did mention most models will be around 12 months).
Heard nothing for a Month so I emailed the dealer at the end of October, but he had no news.
7th December 21 finally had an email from the Dealer saying :-
"Just checking in with an update for you. Your order has been accepted by the factory but hasn’t been given a build week as of yet. I will let you know when the status changes."
I will contact him again in the new year when the Factory and everything starts up again and try to get an update.
