How many do we think are going to be completely dent and/or scratch free? I reckon we'll lose at least 6 going on recent local rejection figures ... :cry:
 
Well I haven't driven a manual in 4 years and that was a pleasure to drive back from the dealership. Even being stuck in traffic through the A12 roadworks wasn't too bad.

Really notice the bumps and uneven road in this, but all part of the fun.

Back home in one piece before the rain kicked in.

Hi all, new member here. I’m very excited to be collecting my Manual in Ignition Red on Monday in Oxford!
Are there any other members in the local area on here? I’ve only seen one GR86 around in sapphire blue

Depends what you call local. There are a few around Reading, including me

Another one collected in the wet this morning, my Sapphire Blue MT from Stirling. A grey went before me and a silver due out shortly, hope to see them soon. I know I've not posted during my time waiting but thanks to all on this forum for the guidance and importantly that pick up checklist - the salesman seemed only interested in connecting my Bluetooth. I'd love to say I sent it sideways but the truth is I was just grateful it wasn't damaged, relieved it got over the speed bumps and amazed I didn't have to climb out the boot when I parked it up in my single garage. Next steps a ceramic coating and eventually an exhaust.

Can I ask when did you place your order? Think mine is still in the Suez.

I never considered a black car for a second having owned a few in the past but the more I see them the more I love them 😍

Same here, I declined.
But what I did notice that after conecting it via Android Auto I didn't need to set up Bluetooth manualy as it was already linked.
 
Magnetite Grey collected yesterday from W R Davies Shrewsbury with 7 miles on the clock. Was raining very hard when collecting so the checks were very quick, but no scuffs or dents.
With the detailed being ceramic coated now, hoping to have it back tomorrow.
Initial impression is that it seems more compliant than the one on the test drive, which surprised me. Engine very willing to rev.
Very straightforward no fuss handover, no grand uncovering or vehicle behind VIP ropes, just parked outside ready to go.
The window opening on the key was done, they had also set the rev limit indication at 4K revs.
No GR86 artwork, locking wheelnuts in the glovebox and safety kit in the boot. (Haven’t checked that yet to see what is in it)
Looking forward to clear autumn weather to put some miles on it now. (Although, living in Wales, that might be wishful thinking!!)

They’ll be slow miles thanks to Drakeford

Ah awesome you managed to arrange collection! Where are you taking it for its ceramic coating if you don’t mind me asking and how much? I need to get mine booked in somewhere for when I finally sort my collection out - TOL dragging their feet sorting my PX out at the moment!

Did you manage to spy my Sapphire Blue there when you collected?

Didn’t see your Sapphire Blue when I was collecting unfortunately.

Does it part time, but does a professional job. £500 for the paint correction and coating.
Just picked it up now, he’s done a great job on it, amazing how much little scratches / swirls on it, especially on the plastics on the rear lights. (Or WERE on it, all corrected now of course! 😎
Off to make a coffee and sit and stare at it for a bit now!

Roughly how long does it take from 'left the factory' to collection?

I'm guessing 6-8 weeks but was just wondering what other people's experience was?

Mine left the factory on the 14/9 and I've been given November as the estimated date.
