My order Ivan like yours I guess, was not placed direct with the factory, but through my local Dealer. As I reported on this site In October, my chassis was laid down but with the delays and the festive season holidays, it has taken until now to complete the car.
As there are a number of individual items that I have ordered, this has stopped it being 100% ready, but I will certainly know more when I have had my Works visit. My Dealer has been keeping me very much in the loop on developments, though I do speak to the Works on a regular basis too. !
I might mention in passing that we have bought a couple of other new cars in the last year, one an Abarth 695 where we dealt direct with the factory in Turin. We had to pay for the car in full before they would commence production, and our second payment was never even acknowledged by Abarth, despite numerous emails and phone calls. The car was supposed to be shipped in late Sept/Oct, but was not shipped until December and not registered until Jan 2011 due to paperwork issues originating from Italy. This contrasted markedly with the experience we had with the other marque/Dealer.
We were fortunate in that our local Abarth Dealer was very helpful and registered the car for us without issues, but many others were not so lucky. Most new car purchases are through a Dealer Network, including Mog's, and this should be the first port of call imho, perhaps you disagree.
