I'm also toying with the idea of the two-tone (truffle) upholstery - it seems to lift the interior.
Delivery should be mid-July, when the lease on my Mini Cooper finishes.
Feeling a bit thrilled already
...plus rubber mats thrown in FOC. I understand my new toy will be ready for when the lease on my Mini Cooper is up on the 16th July. Looking forward to it already

i really like the truffle with indium grey really will look great, oh what a differance a few months make, we waited from 2nd week feb to 2nd week july last year for our mobility car, but that was at a time when the dealers used their allowance of scirocco s up and shifted motability cars to the next month well thats my thinking. and all we got was the box of chocolates. but it was really worth the wait, they are a great car to drive, im sure you will enjoy your car.
I reckon that the truffle trim works because a lot of the interior remains in the anthracite colour. ..I like the contrast.
I’m really looking forward to my new steed. The Cooper has been great but my worsening back/leg pain means poor Min can no longer cut it on speed bumps and potholes. The local VW agency lent me a GT diesel. ..I drove it for about 40 miles and was convinced! It`s believed my new car will be ready before Min`s lease is up. Roll on July 16th. ..

Excellent, I ordered mine in January and have only jut had mine confirmed for delivery which will now be last week in June, been a long wait and I had to extend my latest car lease until then but Motability did it without any bother.
Ive ordered the same as you the 140 TD GT
Viper Green
Black leather
Parking sensors
I cannot wait much longer this has been the longest 6 months ever, good thing though this forum keeps my sanity reading others posts and looking at their photos/videos, absolutely brilliant.
The lads at the dealership were pushing V. Green - perhaps its an age thing! Besides, I’d already decided, I wanted a subtle colour and definitely not white (Min is Pepper White). But I realise it`s each to his/her own - my wife isn’t overkeen on truffle hide!
I bet you’re champing at the bit, it is a long wait. I think it’ll be worthwhile.
