A knock on the door this morning, postie standing there drip wet through and passed me a parcel.

Pictures show the contents.

Big surprise because as yet I don’t have a build date let alone delivery date, just a vague “March” guesstimate.

I know I’m paying for the car in instalments but didn’t expect delivery to be in instalments too Rather put me in mind of the Johnny Cash song One Piece At A Time

I guess it keeps the excitement going though.......

By the way, am I the only one amused at how they are "bigging up" a set of plastic tyre valve caps. You'd think they were made of some exotic precious metal.......  2017 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography
2012 4.4 TDV8 Westminster - Gone, but not forgotten

they're having a laugh....

£3.40 set of caps when you're spending £80k??

I think it was a bit more than £80k Stan - probably more like £115k  2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17

thats even worse..

Yes, @vogue - much nearer the mark

I was glad I was in, I’d have hated to get the “parcel is at the sorting office for collection” card then done the 10 mile round trip to pick up that

Wonder how many others got one too?

To be fair @rob99 they do seem to be metal...Wonder if the new car will have them missing cos they know I’ve already got a set

@trommel, yes that looks like what they sent me. Don’t feel quite so bad now having seen the price (maybe in fact feeling a bit guilty for being ungrateful )

For that price I'd be expecting something special - namely metal caps that don't corrode onto the valves making them impossible to remove - like every other set of metal caps I've ever had.

Also be careful whare you park or the kids will have them for their bikes in no time.....

If only their main dealers went above and beyond!

Well at £160+VAT that’s probably the majority of the cost
