I have ordered my mini one on the 26th July and was given a provisional pick up date from the dealership (Williams of Manchester) of the 20th September. They said it would probably arrive beforehand so I called them today to see if it is due to be made in the factory soon. Unfortunately, it hadnt been given a date and Im so frustrated waiting as it is, let alone if it gets delivered late. Also, the guy at the dealership said it takes 10 days from production to arrive with them which I thought was a bit drawn out. What have other peoples experience been with regards to delivery dates, I know the MCS has a heavy backlog but I didnt think this was the case for the Mini One.

Surely someone has been in this position before, 33 views and no posts?

Sounds kind of wierd.

Maybe the dealer forgot to order your Mini One????

kerouac9 · Sep 9th, 2003, 09:45 AM

No, have been calling every week and its ordered, was told yesterday that different models are batch produced. Has anyone got any freebies after complaining their order was late?

That's not true. They roll down the line mixed models, mixed colours, mixed options one after the other.

You should have a production week WAY in advance, and they usually move forward, not backwards. Sounds a bit iffy to me.

Before you flame me about my info, Im actually going by what the contacts at the dealership told me. Apparently, they had several MC orders in two weeks before scheduled. I had confirmation of my order weeks ago and for insurance purposes need a chassis number etc, which is why Im so frustrated at the waiting around.

You got me worried now Kerouac9, ordered mine last week same dealer. Given est del date for 24/9.
Ok it was one (pun intended) that they had allocated to them , colour and spec already sorted.
One D btw.
Hope u dont have to wait longer than you"d hoped for.

kerouac9 · Sep 10th, 2003, 10:00 AM

Are you saying they gave you only 4 weeks for delivery date, well on my delivery date of the 20th it will be almost 7 weeks. I will be most unhappy if they put it back and its late, I guess the only thing you can do is keep on hassling them as the date gets nearer.

Lurcher · Sep 10th, 2003, 02:10 PM

As I said the one D I bought was already allocated to them I coulndn"t choose colour or spec so I took what was already decided. I/B, Salt Pack,manual air cond. That will do me for work and dont have to wait log Hopefully).

Hi All,

I ordered my One D on the 3rd July from the dealer, they estimated the second week in September, but from about the middle of August I was told that it could be as late as the 10th October!!! They do however keep reassuring me that it will be brought forward nearer the time.

I'm hoping that she might become an 04 production model, so would get the trip computer as part of SALT package.

The worse thing about the wait is having to be so careful with my current car before trading in

Lurcher · Sep 14th, 2003, 02:48 PM

Called into Williams M/C yest , they checked and to my delight the One D has been built and should be on its way this week, hopefully for del 24/9 as estimated.
Hows yours doing Kerouac9 ?

kerouac9 · Sep 15th, 2003, 08:59 AM
