Reading these forum posts, delivery to customers seem to be going to happen in dribs and drabs throughout August and beyond.

If they are all coming straight from the factory in Japan, I would have thought they'd be a BIG ship arriving in the UK and loads of customers would get delivery pretty much at the same time. This doesn't look like the case???

They more than likely do all come together but its all the process's that each car must go through like customs, UK specification checks and the like that split them up. Added to that is the fact you can only get so many cars on each transporter, and each of those transporters are delivering to a number of localised dealers and you get the picture.

Yes but if they're arriving in one BIG ship, surely it's not just one or two car transporters driving up and down the UK delivering out from the import centre.


I could understand if they were being manufactured in Europe and coming across the channel on individual transporters. But one BIG ship arriving in the UK, leading to customers getting their cars in dribs and drabs over August, sounds as if customers cars are being held back in the UK before being sent to dealers.
