I've stumbled across some info which is 100% genuine and so I thought I'd pass it on. :P

One key point is that to get a specific number is going to require some extreme dedication from your dealer.

Only certain numbers will be released at any time and only cars from that batch or release may be ordered.

There are a few more details that i've not posted up on the website but nothing too exciting, mainly about the numbers going to each dealer.

will call my dealer tomorrow and say "stuff what the number is, just get me one as soon as you possibly can!!"

lol I don't get it. That last bit on the paragraph says that "Those vehicles that have been ordered already will be removed from the list. It will not be possible to reserve specific seat numbers for vehicles that have not been released." So does that mean that you could pick any number you wanted aslong as it hasn't already been picked? thats kinda the way i read it, but it does sound very complicated!

you still not picked a number kipper???

P.S - why ARE you called wetkipper?? lol

oohhh wait I think I get it!! They will have a few ready with numbers on already, so if you don't want any of the numbers available you have to wait??

Exactly

They will release a list of chassis numbers for cars that are already built and their corresponding seat numbers - you can pick from that list as long as someone else doesn't beat you to it.

As they are built and released so the list will be updated.

well, if the information is correct, I'm not going to make myself wait an extra 2-3 weeks for the car, just so I can get a certain number - I just want the first one that my dealer can get his hands on for me, so I get the car as soon as possible.

mine is apparantly going to be here sometime in April woot!! (still would have likes ESP though :( )

There's an article about the SE in today's Daily Record Motoring Section (also available online)

It's making me more and more impatient, and I only ordered the thing last week ....

Doesn't the Special Edition have ESP? I'm sure I was told that it has.

Nope

All the "Extras" are cosmetic apart from cruise.

Nope and not an option either by the looks of it.
