Just been reading a post on the Skoda UK and Ireland Facebook group.
Chap ordered his 85 from Pulman Skoda Sunderland a month after I ordered mine from Pulman Skoda Durham, got build week 48 (mine was 49) and he’s picking it up on Thursday!.
Apart from having to ask them for the build week on October 30th and 1 phone call to say it was going to be an 85x I’ve not heard anything from my branch at all.
Please excuse spelling/typos. Apart from being a clot it turns out I had one on my cerebellum that's now causing various problems!
