I’m into my 19th week now from a 5th Nov order date. Still no update from the dealer with any info at all on my order. The cancelled black trophy order he mentioned turned out to be a standard range car ?.
Even if mine was being built today it would still probably take another 8 weeks for shipping, transportation to the dealer, PDI etc so around 27 weeks, just over 6 months.
I think MG have been inundated with orders and are struggling to cope. I’ve read that they are apparently building to order from January, whatever that means. TBH, I wouldn’t be surprised if your wait was nearer 9 months now, but I hope I’m wrong.
