Still no build week!

I ordered a vrs tdi white estate at the end of Nov, picked it up Friday. Has lane assist and potenza's, it's definitely been worth the wai

Wait

VRS Rallye Green. Here it is at last. picked up tonight. polishing day tomorrow.

I have written to the head of SUK, Alistair Stewart, to ask why cars are not built in according to when they were ordered and why the factory therefore cannot give me and others a build week.

Not expecting anything other than lame excuses though.

Car delivered today after 9th nova order date. Good to see it in the flesh so to speak. It has been a long wait and I certainly sympathise with all that are still waiting. Keep the faith!

Finally! Got a build week, 16th June, which I think is BW25.

Unfortunately I doubt it will arrive in time for my trip to Le Mans Classic on 3rd July. Told SUK I need an estate car. Will see what they come up with.

I know its no consolation. But now I have mine, it was worth the wait. But I did have the Octavia 1.8 which I had been totally happy with, so was in no rush which was just as well. Did get sick of all the repetitive comments of, have you got it yet etc etc at work.

SUK have confirmed my BW25 by email today and all my options including the electric tailgate I added.

Looks like I will get it early July.

Ordered my car 23/11-13. Today I got a mail from my dealer telling me that they have received a production number. Skoda SE guarantees that the car will be built week 27. Hope I can trust this. 35 + 3 weeks waiting is a loooong time...
