How long from factory to dealer?
Got a call on the 24th of last month from dealer to say car was on way and should be here for the following week. As of yet i havent had a call to say it's arrived. I'm going down saturday to seem anyway, but was just wondering with the bad weather we have been having has it slowed things up on deliverys?

Explained here timewise. Link
Most likely has sailed to Germany on the Emden. Depends what your dealer means by "on its way" on the 24th November. Given arrival was 01.12.10 here. It will be on its way through Grimsby. I've seen cars arriving this week as normal from there, outside my office window in Stockport. So it will depand which part of the country you are in and how bad roads are locally as they are having no trouble at the Grimsby end.
Alternatively is came on the Tenerife Car which docked in Sheerness 06.12.10. See Here.
Even under normal weather conditions earliest looks like late this week.

We've had a lot of issues at my work with ports being closed... many shipments into us have been delayed. I assume this would affect the car industry also.
