How long from Built to Delivery (UK)

[imclueless]

Just been informed that my car has been built and now going into testing.

Typically how long before I get my greasey mits on it.

The R8 Team said middle Feb in which case I will wait until March 1st

The wait is almost over!!!!

Hey Mate, Yes the wait is almost over. My car is now waiting for pickup by Air Freight company. It took 1-2 weeks to go from Testing to Transport Stage.

Not sure about the rest, but mine will be on an Aircraft next week!!

Mine was completed 3rd week Ocober but didn't arrive until 3rd week of December. This was partly due to a two ships turning back due to bad weather in Nov. Not long now my friend!! Get ready to grin

I was told that mine was still being built in early December, I think it had just gone in the paintshop at the time according to Audi's tracking system. I was expecting the car end of Jan after also being told the factory is shut until next week then Audi UK emailed me today and told me that the car has arrived in the UK!

It's like your partner having a child. You know its coming you know the approximate date.

Its the 3 days of labour are the ones that put the nerves on edge.

Getting way to excited...

Ian its only a car!!!

Can you post or PM when it arrives at your dealer.

Never been to Leeds - are there any good "Safe" driving roads up in Yorkshire. I plan to do a tour every weekend to a new part of the UK

I don't know about other regions, but in Korea you can have the normal delivery by boat, which I've been told takes about 9 weeks from completion, or your can pay about $7500 and get it sent by air. Which takes about 2~3 weeks.

Imclueless, I'll drop you a note when the car turns up. Re good driving roads there are plenty around Yorkshire, just avoid any of the major conurbations although York is a beautiful place and Leeds is a lively city. From York heading North right up to the Orkney Islands you will be spoilt for choice. I'll have to have a think tho' about 'safe'.

Just put a deposit on mine yesterday and was told July delivery.
Are you able to track the building of your car or is the dealer the only one that knows what stage it is at.

I know this is off the subject a bit but how have Australian owners found the back up from Audi. When I ordered my Porsche they sent me all sorts off things like a scetch of the car to frame, model of my car and other things.
Maybe this was to keep me interested untill it arrived.

sandman, welcome to the "I'm waiting for my R8" club. I haven't received anything so far.

More details about what you have ordered?
