Just been reading the thread on MSE, what a mess!

someone who works for FIAT is posting on MSE.

They seam to think Stonacre will take some of the orders.

Ah - that's not the post where marleyboy says that Stoneacre are rumoured to be taking on some of the *accounts* is it? That to me looks like dealerships.

Based on current info though it looks like no deals have been done - receivers into two sites including Salford/Manchester.


Regards,
Tony.

Just rang FIAT to see if they had any update - not as yet.

One of the Fiat Zone Managers was in one of my sessions today.

We were talking about the number of 500s being built for the UK this year, and dividing it by the number of dealers.

The Zone Manager corrected the stated number of UK dealers by saying, "Well, that figure was correct until this morning."

It all makes sense now!

Hope your order gets sorted soon Tony

Thanks Scrogg, what's your earliest available week build for a new order? Just in case.

Cheers,
Tony.

I think a 1.3 Sport would be a March build.

I have got a Week 7 1.3 Lounge, but as I found out with Tom's and Seton's orders, changing the model puts them back about 2 weeks.

We're still on for Week 7 build though yeah? As in I/we could have gone for week 5, but as I went for a Lounge over a Pop it had to be Week 7... yes?

Yes, don't worry!
