| 2 weeks early.
I ordered my new Cooper Clubman January 17th for delivery March 1st to coincide with the new UK registration year. It was built at the Oxford plant on February 11th (there is a sticker on the LH side scuttle confirming that)and delivered to the dealer February 16th - 2 weeks before the required date Of course it could not be road-registered until March 1st anyway so it sat at the dealer for 2 weeks. Excellent service. |
