Probably about 4 weeks from build to delivery.

Mine was on a boat Thursday, dealer had it Monday and I collected Wednesday so about 3-5 days I reckon, depending on how far your dealer is from the port - then how long it takes the dealer to clean it up for you.

I was told I have an unconfirmed build week of week 14. I am very excited!!!
I did however probe a little more on teh xenons. Apparently these are off the options list permanently!! They could not give a reason however.
Finally they also said build times have increased from 12-16 weeks to 16-20 weeks due to the scale back in production.

Thats good news Kev
I'm collecting mine this Friday afternoon.Dealers confirmed it's there and the DRL's will (hopefully) be switched off and there are 2 cables in the car for Ipod/media.
To say i'm excited after a 7 month wait is an under- understatement

My dealer told me mine will be with him by the end of this week - after all of the paperwork is sorted I should have it by the end of the month... couple of weeks longer than originaly planned.

Hi there,
Had an e-mail from my dealer this morning, apparently mine is scheduled as build week 17 (Mid April).
He says it might move forward (here's hoping).
Regards
Tim

Todays the day folks
not much sleep last night as I'm collecting my long awaited 'Roc this afternoon.
Dealers filled her up,workshops turned off the DRLs and both media cables are in the car. Insured ,Payed for,PDI done. CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER!
Thanks to everyone on and within the forum for helping me keep my sanity during the long wait
I'm now looking forward to contributing as an owner not just as an "on order"
Might be some time before any pictures appear because I'll be enjoying the car all weekend
Cheers
Martin

Finally got the price & spec I was looking for and ordered on the day before the price rise (24th February).
I spoke to the dealer yesterday and have an unconfirmed Build Week 17 and since production has been scaled back at the moment the dealer says that estimated times should be more accurate at present.
Giving the dealer my part-ex tomorrow since I'll be abroad for most of the next two months so the next car I drive will be my Roc
