Well, surprisingly ... my dealer told me the Velar is scheduled for delivery in week 29 (2 weeks from now).

I ordered a almost fully specced V6 Petrol HSE, R-Dynamic Silicon Silver, with the 22 inch wheels (22" 9 split-spoke 'Style 9007' in Diamond Turned finish) ... (so there doesn't seem to be problems with the V6 Petrol/22" combination?).

My order was confirmed (UK factory) around 22 May (the day I couldn't change any options anymore).

Terrible nights of no-sleep lay ahead ...

Wow! That's much sooner than I expected.

 

[mth75]

It is ... the first indications pointed to a september or october delivery.

That's great news for you, must be pulling that stock from the pictures of the already made cars.

Great news.

 

[mth75]

Some stock arrived in the Netherlands (Limburg).

Exciting times! UK dealers get their demos this week! I think a lot of our cars may well turn up next month in August! I will still only pick up in Sept on the new reg though (UK).

 

[mth75]

Could it be that mainland Europe has delivery priority (maybe for some unknown marketing reasons)?

 

[Clandrel]

Is it actually allowed to registrer the car before the official release date?

I believe the official release date is 23rd of august, so nit sure if it's possible before that?

Dealership in Zurich Switzerland don't even have a confirmation about our orders. I placed the order end of April, P380 SE, 22", etc. got the Vista with the Status "in pool". After that no informations, they maybe get the demo cars end of august. Sad Story

Turns out the first one is mine ... some more pictures below. It also turns out that registration of the license plate is possible from 28 July onwards (bummer).

 

[KRG]

So exciting! You're the first to see your actual car as far as I know.

 

[mth75]

It is fascinating, i'm 42 ... like a boy in a candy store ... who has to wait .... Indeed, it seems I am. Furthermore, I took a little drive in a D300: https://www.velarforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=165

Looks so good. Congrats again.

 

[mth75]

Thanks!

Ah, she's a thing of beauty, very exciting for you! Hope they lock it up and don't have endless people jumping in and out of it?

 

[mth75]

It's locked (I made a point about this ) ...

 

[mth75]

And the delivery date is fixed on 28 july (The first date that Velars can be registrated in The Netherlands).

 

[Harryeast]

Congrats!! Can't wait to see the Velar on the (Dutch) roads. Added value between all the other SUVs currently driving around. Unfortunately I still have to wait for a certain period
