Same here, November. Ah well, is that November 1st or 30th??

I wonder whether it's worth waiting until January and getting a 2004 registration on it??

Where's the picture??

November for me too...

Suspect they all say this.

Would have expected some kind of apology also....

Would really really like to know if anyone has a letter saying 'October'. If so I want to know why ! ! !

Says November for me to, but wasnt expecing anything earlier.

Some of you would have been in Octover if there was any in October so I guess Nov is the earliest.

Says print will be collectable from dealer, not is collectable.

As I'm going to my dealer later this morning to pick up my book, I'll let you know if the prints are there too.

Just got back from my test drive (review soon) and they had the prints there, I didnt get one as they are not my dealer.

Min e says "As a valued pre-order customer we would like to give you an exclusive A3 original artists sketch framed print to thank you for your pre-order. This will be distributed to your dealerships and will be ready for you to pick up at your leisure".

MarkW I don't think it means its there now, but I could be wrong. I've just put a call into T W Whites in Weybridge and someone will call me back...

November for me too but I expected that. The late October date was 'cars in the UK' not 'cars at the dealer' I presume.

Just spoke to Swee Sealey of T W Whites in Weybridge. Helpful as always, and before I had chance to say about the letter, she said they now can officially confirm November as the delivery date. Strangely, said said "thats not too bad as its earlier than the date I gave you when you paid your deposit".

Fortunately, I like her, and she did say she was coming down with a cold, otherwise I could have exploded. I just kindly told her that in her own hand on my order sheet it says delivery End of June or first week in July.

She apologised profusely

Anyway, no framed prints at T W Whites in Weybridge yet.

She did promise to call as soon as they came in for us to pick up.

Hmmm... I have a bad feeling about this. If Mark had enjoyed the drive I'd have expected at least a smily. Uh-oh!

It's a fine line between negativity and apprehension...

Anyway: review read and I'll comment on that thread.

Looks like we've all recieved the same letters this morning. Spoke to my dealer. The boat thats left has dealer demonstrators for Silverstone pickup, and some customer cars, but not many. November looks like the key (belated) month and I'm mad

No letter for me yet.

Hopefully Warrington post office has cocked up, as Rob Dickinson has recieved his.

If it doesn't arrive on Monday I'll be straight on the phone.

Well, it looks like there were some differences in the letter. I, as a late pre-orderer, will not be getting the print.

To be honest it doesn't make a big difference to me, but does make me feel like a late-comer to the party.

I must admit, I don't know how you guys have put up with a wait since Jan/March ... my four/five months seems like a lifetime.

I received my letter today - December delivery, which is exactly what I was told when I placed my order in April, so I'm happy.

I haven't got a letter either. (Although as have only had order in since start of August not too surprised)

I have just rang the helpline though and they have said that a letter should be "en-route" and the computer is showing a December delivery date. This means I'll have only had to wait 5 months which doesn't sound too bad when I look at how long most of you have been waiting!!

STILL CANT WAIT THOUGH!!!!!!

Another November and a pic for me - I ordered mid June. I must have just scrapped into the first (lucky??) 1000.

Looks like us early (ish) folks are all November then. I am off to my dealer (Leeds) tomorrow to see if they have the print and to try and book a test drive between 10-15th Sept with the car they are apparently getting.

I'll let you guys know how it went when I eventually drive the car. Can't wait.
