I just called Toyota online and they said my Silver manual GR86 is on the Durban Highway car carrier just off coast of India at present.
It's due to dock at Bristol on Sunday 6th August. Then another 3 weeks or so at Derby then delivery to my dealer.
So I'm going for a 73 reg.

I went with red. White and silver both considered, but ultimately I see this as a fun car that should be in a fun colour.
The online order trackers has been all over the place. When I first got access to the system the car was already at the docks, then it went to Derby within two days. Then back to the dock last week. After phoning Toyota it's now showing as at the retailer. For those still waiting, I wouldn't trust the online system and instead get over the phone updates with Toyota.
Plucking hell, that was quick…

Meanwhile I'm still waiting from the first batch haha. Mine is finally in the country for the last two weeks and estimated early August handover. Might give them a call to see if it has a reg yet so I can start insurance quotes.

My trackers still say Order Processing so a big lag on mine when it docked early July! I'm lead to believe it's 3-4 weeks on the ship and around 4 weeks from it landing to the dealership.

Mine has arrived at the dealer and handover date now agreed as next Tuesday. Still can't believe how quick it's happening, considering I was in the second wave of invitation emails.

Assume they come in to Avonmouth/Portbury. I wonder if it is possible to see the unloading from a public spot?
Has anyone videoed ?

Avonmouth tour 3 years ago
Can't find any webcam feeds for that area.
I remember many years ago watching VW/Audis unloaded from ships in Kent - huge plumes of rubber smoke as they got screamed out of the cargo bay. I think I'd rather remain ignorant and pretend it was all done with care and mechanical empathy...

Can you imagine if all the new owners turned up to cheer the arrival of the boat
