Anyone heard any more on when orders placed before the lockdown are due to re-commence?
I picked the following up from another website this morning. There is nothing to corroborate these precise details on the Motability website though, other than the previously posted generic phases of opening up the scheme:
Motability Vehicle Handovers To Resume
If the government allows car dealerships to reopen their showrooms on 1 June in England, Motability will start ‘Phase 1’ of their own plan to reopen the scheme.
New Motability cars that are already at dealerships waiting to be handed over to customers will be their first priority.Around 5000 brand new vehicles are ready and waiting to be delivered to Motability customers, and if dealerships do get the go ahead to reopen Motability specialists will be allowed to register and hand over these vehicles ‘subject to this being done in a COVID-19 safe environment’.
Motability have also made money available to dealerships to cover the cost of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and sanitisation when preparing and handing over vehicles to customers.
At present showrooms in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales are expected to remain closed until further notice.
