This is absolutely true Trevor however I would like to add that there did seem to be a small number of vehicles stored awaiting delivery when I was at the factory in October. I doubt very much that there were many, if any, built only for stock. When I placed my order they did say I could have the car within 5 weeks, probably by swapping build slots around and making a dealer who already had some stock wait. It was not even suggested, or even hinted, that I could have a car already constructed.

I suspect the rumour may be based on someone seeing the relatively small stock of cars awaiting delivery. I just had a look at the photo we took and I believe there are less than 30 cars in there. More 4/4s than anything else and in both Sport and Bespoke versions. In many cases it was possible to read the name of the person or company that had placed the order.

I suspect the report is exagerated.
