That’s what my father thinks now too. (September delivery) – He is adding a private plate so isn’t too fussed when it’s registered, but from an aesthetic point of view a 72 in Sept would look better than a 22 at the end of August.
If (And it’s a big if) the build goes ahead on the 15th, once post manufacture testing is complete (Kia test all their cars built in the Slovakia plant on the track at the factory before issue – there is a YouTube video somewhere about it, it’s an impressive facility), the vehicle travels by rail from Slovakia to Germany, then across on a ship to Lincolnshire (24 hr crossing roughly), hits the Kia recieving pound there, usually about 2 weeks to get to dealers it’s looking like a September Reg.
