Hey everyone. I hope that you're having a lovely weekend. :sun: (sorry these emojis just really entertain me!):CWL:
I am trying to do a bit of forward planning (as much as you can with Porsche)

My car is due to exit the factory around 20th March ( I appreciate this can change or be subject to delays).

I was wondering what the experience of a few UK forum members has been. Roughly how long did your car take from factory exit to landing in UK?

I have ordered deviated sitting so I appreciate that can put a delay on things.... oh, and then theres the potential heater issue .... everything crossed !! :whew:

I am taking what I am told by my SA as very much a loose guide.

Many thanks in advance. :like:

Hi,

my vehicle got built in late January and I’m picking it up from Porsche Mayfair on the 4th March.
Great, thank you, I feel like 3 weeks onwards is realistic therefore. I hope you love it !

It is 4-6 weeks from build to collection. Depends on whether it catches a ship immediately, how long it gets stuck in Sheerness, whether Easter delays things, which day it arrives at your dealer and how quickly they prep it for you. Lots of variables. Doubtless some might have got it a bit quicker - or slower - but that is my experience
