Gary4545, not wishing to be a merchant of doom but I think it’s possible your original number may have been allocated to another car, sincerely hope not. Your’s and Chris plus myself story seems to be the norm, numerous shifting of build dates and not one a confirmed date. Communications with VW dealers seem to be split, some have regular updates and others like me nothing for 3 months (I ordered April last year).
I recieved an email early August from dealer from Andrew Savvas Director of Volkswaagen, nice fairystory but completely removed from reality. I’ll post if I can find it.
