I wouldn't get necessarily too trusting in J numbers... @Fizzio and I ordered within four days of each other, he got a late JV iirc, and I was a very early JW. I think he had his car in September, I got mine four days ago!

Spoke with my dealer, the status of my JY0 is now showing as "Due in depot" so it was on the morning courier.

Are you expecting a mid November delivery still based on that?

Latest update I had was mid December but I can't see it taking that long so I'm expecting it to turn up at my dealer in the next couple of weeks....

Hah, sorry, I just wanted to not give false hope, that's the worst thing for me anyway. I hope you're lucky, I think a lot of it depends on specs. For some reason the pearl whites seem to be taking a lot longer than others. I have no idea why.

No worries. I have pretty much a fixed date for delivery now from my dealer (touch wood), so hope reigns eternal.
I'd been following your roller coaster of a journey, but now it's in your hands I hope its as good as, if not better than you'd imagined!

A higher percentage of Pearl White seem to take longer because they constitute 90% of the customers choice of colour lol
 
A shipping forecast update…

Georgia Highway is doing shipping donuts in the Bristol Channel heading to Portbury. It’s currently battling through a Gale force 8 backing southwesterly and increasing to gale force 9 later. Nice.

With an ETA at the dealer’s of the 11th I swear my GRY is on board. Hope its secured well!

Hamburg Highway is due in on the 7th November. It sailed from Yokohama, NOT Nagoya. I know some of you have been following this ship but I’m pretty sure it won’t have any GR’s on it.

For what it’s worth I think the next ship in after that carrying GRY’s is Pleiades Spirit on the 10th of November from Sagunto via As Suways, Singapore and Nagoya.

There doesn’t seem to be one along for a while after that!!

i've been following the Grand Pearl Juan, basically because my dealers says A- its at sea. B- its due for collection on 19th Dec. and C- a guy on another forum says his JY order is on that ship. Are you gonna sink my dream?
 
GR86 order tracker here. Grand Pearl lines up with my app notification but it’s not listed on Bristol Port’s website. Lavender Ace is but did not originate from Nagoya. If it’s not one of them then I’m a bit stumped.
 
I seriously hope not, but I can't see the Grand Pearl docking in Portbury/Bristol anytime soon. Check for yourself here: https://www.bristolport.co.uk/shipping/forward-movements
Hope I'm wrong, but also the tracking sites I've just looked at suggest Grand Pearl's final destination might be Livorno? Bishu Highway might be worth looking at. Best of luck mate.

My thinking for ours being on the Grand Pearl -
  1. It was the only ship thats docked at the correct loading birth in the week before mine left the factory
  2. It was the only ship that left for Europe 24-48 hours after I got the left the factory message.(As per the guide)
  3. Most ships that have GR Yaris stop in either Livorno or Sagunto
  4. Today Grand Pearl destination has changed to Suez so they do change it in AIS
Brasso also says that the Portbury site it is not always accurate and regularly gets updated.

In the last 3 weeks the Pearl is the only ship that ticked the boxes in Brasso shipping guide although the Morning Charlotte left yesterday heading for Singerpore from E5 dock and quite a few stop there on there way to Europe.

Don't fret too hard, Bess didn't show up on the Portbury Forward Movements until it reached Livorno. I'd tracked Bess from Nagoya and knew it was a GR carrier. The dates lined up perfectly

I’m confused by Hamburg Highway. It left Yokahama on 1st Oct and then took 12 days to get to Singapore. I’m sure I remember seeing it docked in Nagoya around 7th October.
 
You could well be right, but I can’t find anything that say’s it stopped at Nagoya after Yokohama? So I ruled this one out for me.

Seems it def went to Singapore, and Suez (fine, they all do), but then ports in Turkey and Greece! Have ships carrying GR’s ever stopped there before (help Brasso)? Then from Greece, directly to Bristol, not stopping at either Livorno nor Sagunto. Not sure about this one, hence pinning my hopes on Georgia Highway.
 
That does not sound like one. Is it even the right size? I've never seen a GR carrier stop in Turkey or Greece. Around the med, only places you should see are Alexandria, Sagunto or Livorno.
