I recently got hugely lucky at Robert Gatward windsor with a 116610LV. They wont operate a waiting list system. First come first serve unless your a return customer.

Called 5 AD's near me and last on my list was them. None of the others had seen any for months and had 30 people plus lists. Called RG and they were having two delivered on the friday but would not be proccessed until the saturday. I turned up before they opened and nabbed the spare (the other was for a repeat customer)

Sure did. Taking into account exchange rate, fees for VAT claim, etc I saved around $1600 compared to my local AD. Hopefully by the time I go back next year they will have an SD43 and the rates will still be favorable!!

I got my 114060 last October, 2 weeks before the price rise.

No luck in the 2 ADs in the town I live, but phoned one in the next city and they only had a Sub Date (which I didn't want). Couple of days later I phoned another two dealers within an hour's drive. One of them had a 114060 in their safe which I collected later that day.

So even before the price rise they were at least somewhat available. I think some dealers are favouring local customers and things like that. That was certainly the impression I got when I paid for my Sub.
