What timescales have others been quoted for recent orders please?

Really looking forward to the car - think that the new infotainment is a big step forward for RR.

I would add the adaptive lights and full size spare as these options are bargain priced!

Good spec & same colour as mine, although i went for Cirrus interior as wanted dark outside & light inside.

Only thing maybe to consider is the deployable running boards as on the MY17, the car drops about 60mm when parking without the need for any intervention (similar to buses) so the need for the running boards for exit/entry is lessened than on earlier models. Also i found the wood/leather wheel to be uncomfortable & awkward when driving as i tend to have my hands at the 10/2 position & thus was always holding the shiny part of the wheel. Obviously if you hold the wheel in a different position it may not have any effect but the shiny part i found slippy & thus not all that safe.

I was also told the extra large washer bottle at about £30 was a must.

I just love the look of the wood and leather wheel though so i would have it.
Complete wheel care, that sounds good. Still get the full-size spare though as what happens when you are driving in Europe ?
I,m driving abroad mostly so it makes sense for me.

Pretty sure the cover extends to Europe, but i could be wrong. That said mine will likely only cross the Channel once a year but if as you it was regular then a full sized spare makes perfect sense & as you said it's not a huge cost.

Agreed the wheel looks good but shiny in my hands felt awkward so wasn't for me. More likely my driving style.

You guys making me a bit jealous......

One day I too hope to be able to cast my eye over the options list and ponder......

Lets hope I'm not too old that my GP refuses to sign off my licence extension....  2021 D350 Fifty Edition - Carpathian Grey

Carpathian, black roof, deplorable running boards, privacy glass, ebony / ebony with cirus leather headlining and wood / leather steering wheel.

I think that's it - still spec changeable so feel free to advise any must haves.

I'd lose the side steps. My other half is 5"6 and has no problem getting in and out, even at normal ride height. The upgraded headlights are great. I'd go for the full size spare as it's still a cheap alloy/tyre.
