Question Anyone buying a WR1 got a delivery date yet?

Just wondered if anyone who has one of these on order has heard anything at all from the dealer yet.

Cheers

Soon(ish hopefully) to be WR1 owner...

Don't suppose you happen to know what sort of delivery date they were given or would you be able to find out please? Just curious as to when people are expecting the first batch of WR1's.

Thanks

Yeah, my dealer has heard nothing regards delivery for anyone on their list. I'm not even top of the list either which is why I was wondering what others had heard.

Thanks for the info.

Cool they are around

I saw a couple on a transporter in France yesterday, going from Calais to Paris on the E15

Doesn't bring much to this thread, but not many have seen 2 together

I know it's cheeky but any chance when you go to get your car you could get some piccys??? I still haven't seen what the car looks like inside. I know what it's supposed to look like but would be nice to see an actual picture.

What were your opionions of the car?

Thanks

Yeah, same here. I don't know what to do yet as to selling my existing MY98 car. Not having any idea when the WR1 is likely to be ready I don't know whether to sell my car now or wait a while. I was told my WR1 would be ready anytime between April and August. I'm happy to wait, would just be nice to have an idea of when to expect the car.

Thanks

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

I really like the colour as it happens and so do my wife and kids. My current car is Green and neither the wife or kids like that so they are very happy with the colour of the new one

Hardly just PDI. Fit tracker, fit Cat 1 alarm, add more underseal (allegedly). Then to Prodrive to fit springs, bump stops, wheels and tyres, new exhaust, mod ECU, change fuel pump and finally fit the nasty, nasty, horrid chrome grille. Oh and a numbered, whoopydoo, plaque to the dash.

I would guess the first few will go to the magazines for review.

Then I guess it's down to whether they send them out as they're done one at a time or if they will stockpile 200 and send one out to each dealer all together.

Can you imagine the whinging on here if Joe Smith in London got one a month before Fred Bloggs in Manchester who put his deposit down 2 days earlier than Joe did?
