Will you only get to know what number wr1 you are getting when you pick the car up or is there anyway the dealer can find out??

 

Perhaps when your delivery date is confirmed the dealer will then know your number.

I wonder if there will be a number 13?

I think Subaru usually miss out number 13 on all their specials. Anyone know what they do though, do they actually have an "extra" number? i.e. can we expect there to be a WR1 numbered 501?

What happens to car number 1? Will Peter Solberg get that then??

 

Yes. But he'll have to pay full list price.

Are the numbers going to be spread out around the country does anyone know.i.e will a dealer in london get say number 5 and a dealer in scotland get number 6 or will the dealer in london get 4,5,6.etc
How did it work with the P1,was there a wait like with the wr1?

 

If I remember correctly the P1 launch was a bit confused. Only 500 made - which then became 1000. I may be mistaken - just going on dealer remeniscences.
As for numbering, my RB5 is no382 of 444 and was first purchased in NI. Go figure.

I think the launch of the wr1 is getting confusing or is it just me making it feel that way!

 

I don't think it's getting confusing ... Subaru have always stood by their original statment - first batch for early orders will be mid April - rest will be June, July & August!

What is making it confusing is the absolute rubbish that people keep posting up about this car (or the absolute rubbish they are being told by other sources). Especially the one about the phone call from the Sales Director - pmsl!

 

I have recieved a delivery date on an audio tape direct from the head of IM in Japan. It self destructed in 5 seconds when I chose to accept it.

Actually I'm not that bothered when mine arrives, gives me more time to sell and save.

wr1

there probably be no.501 - i know i have uk 300 no. 301

 

Hopefully it wont go the same way as the P1.

I placed my deposit on 3rd November 1999 for delivery in March 2000 after seeing it at the Motor Show in London in October.

I finally picked the car up on 31st July 2000.I wouldn't have minded but I had bought an R reg classic to tide me over till it came.As it went beyond the 6 months that had been allowed for, I ended up having to re-tax it & get a service & 2 new tyres before I traded it in.

Delay was due to problem with rear spoilers IIRC.

Indeed it is Colin, indeed it is.

And Optimax is too bleeding expensive as well.

Hi
Looks like i might be waiting longer than expected thought they'd all be released at the same time.

Think it'll be worth it though

Gee

 

I know what number your all waiting for and it looks like its going to be 2005

Has anyone heard anything from their dealer regarding delivery or the forementioned number'd car they are getting?

 

No I haven't heard anything apart from mine will be mid April. I got a letter from my dealer saying that they will contact me in early April to confirm my delivery date and take any extras that I want to make my WR1 a WR1+

Scoobyless for over a month - starting to hurt now!

 

 

WR1+ ???????????

 

Apparently they are developing a 'plus' pack which WR1 owners can have put on by Prodrive to up the spec ... will prob be along the lines of bit more power or uprated ICE.

Should probably know full details next week as I was told early april in my letter!

 

I spoke to my dealer today and he mentioned nothing about a + pack...
He just said had no delivery dates as yet and would contact me as soon as he did.

 

Oh right ... well I had a proper letter from my dealer - I know he met with Prodrive today to discuss what options to put in a plus package. He has the biggest dealer allocation of WR1's in the country (20 or something) so maybe it's just something he is doing independantly. I will put full details up next week when I know them ... and hopefully my delivery date!!

 

fantastic

 

Gangsta Smurf

I have a letter containing same info, was told by dealer WR1+ package will be cosmetic changes only

where have you ordered yours from?

 

I ordered mine from Crossroads ... I got no further details other than they are meeting to discuss a plus package. I just assumed that it might contain a performance upgrade. Should know for sure next week hopefully.

 

Have ordered from Crossroads aswell

Am also awaiting details

 

They are a pukka dealership ... have put up with my calls almost every two to three days. Hopefully they can make my year for me next week with a nice early delivery date!

 

I hope they tell you a delivery date aswell ,then we are all on our way and can expect to know when we will get ours aswell...
Well heres livin in hope anyway

 

ordered mine crossroads, Jon was talking about possible exhaust mods taking it to circa 340.
