GR86 GR86 Delivery Tracking and Collection thread

There seems to be a real glut of deliveries at the moment - great to see. I assume some have been held back slightly for the '73' registration.

I note that these current deliveries are a different experience those of us in the December batch - here you all are with your wonderful gleaming cars photographed in the glorious sunshine and your paintwork 'popping' in the late summer sun. We were all looking out our windows at our filthy cars praying for half a dry decent day for a quick wash, sliding about on the greasy roads whilst we scrubbed our tyres in!
I picked mine up in March and I remember gingerly driving my car to PPF place in a snow storm 😂

Ah yes, I recall our lovely spring March weather...
 
Mines arrived at the dealer 😁 Although currently on my honeymoon so can’t pick up until end of month!

Anyone else collected from WR Davies Shrewsbury if so how was the experience?

Just had notification that mine has arrived there as well. Not has pick up date yet, but when I initially called in to see the car before ordering (luckily they had one in that day!) and then had the test drive they were very friendly and helpful

My latest advice is end of September delivery
 
Finally collected it! After a bit of stress getting it all sorted yesterday and this morning!

Not had time to get some form of paint protection done, too late now though! On the 1000 ferry to France tomorrow morning!

A good 600 miles tomorrow, so might be one of the quickest run in periods!

Another red car looking awesome. Red wasn't my first colour choice but I love it now I've seen it in the metal.
 
The values I’m getting for our Jaguar are surprisingly low.. I might end up keeping it and having both cars as I’m not inclined to take a massive loss on it.. SWMBO likes it anyway but I didn’t envisage having both cars 😉

Oh wow, you're taking it straight to France. I knew you were about to go away, but didn't realise you'd be taking the 86.

Make sure you don't just sit at a constant speed on the motorway.

Typically, dealers have plenty of trade ins after plate change, so will not make high offers. Once they have processed these, may be prepared to offer more.

Try Motorway and Carwow also.
Unfortunately it's not a great time of year for trade in values.
I'd only had my Leon Cupra for 10 months, so I had to take a loss to get the GR86.
 
Phew.

Yeah I’m going to try and avoid the auto routes. Interestingly in the handover the Toyota guys said it didn’t really matter and don’t worry about it just take it easy to start with. I’d prefer to not risk it and it’s not that long anyway

I’m going to work at selling the car myself before I give up on the sale.. What’s the worst that can happen 😉
