So I ordered at Nottingham in mid October just before they received their allocation for Q1. They are a large OPC and probably get a good number of vehicles in their allocation and they told me at the time of order that they were 90% certain of a February build. Late November and sure enough they gave me a lockdown date in January and build of second week in February and they showed me their order planning system which has an estimated arrive at dealer date of March 11th.
This will be a total wait of five months so not particularly quick but ordered at a time when there were less orders I guess?
Anyway, no secret just dumb luck with when and where I ordered…
