tjmacsmith,

A bit of background might help. Car ordered early Oct 2001 and given number 94. Specced Feb 2002. Arrived at Tilbury about 12 July and now has number 77. In diminishing queue at Barwell awaiting completion. My best guess is that it will be ready early to mid September.

If I guess correctly that you are the other half of TJ MAC then you placed your order in March 2002? Maybe you picked up a cancellation or Williams are just slow in getting orders. Anyway, what seems to be crucial as far as allocating a meaningful build number is concerned is the date you spec the car. The first time I knew mine was 77 was when I received some photos of the car at Barwell.

Hope this helps you work out when your car may be ready but I would be amazed if it was mid September. Good luck, I'm sure it'll be worth it when you finally get it.

Martvr, yea your right spect my car early march. Spoke to Alan last week told me should be 3 weeks after the car docks at tilbury 27th august. Why has your car taken so long if their tellin me it should take 3 weeks to build. What colour have u chosen? have u had their trackor fitted? have u sorted out insurance quotes yet?

'Martvr, yea your right spect my car early march. Spoke to Alan last week told me should be 3 weeks after the car docks at tilbury 27th august.' I was told a similar timescale - doesn't seem to have happened though, might have been something to do with backlog of cars at the factory.
'Why has your car taken so long if their tellin me it should take 3 weeks to build.' I would take that with a pinch of salt, see above.
'What colour have u chosen?' See my profile and recent Noble threads which have discussed the topic.
'have u had their trackor fitted?' Yes.
'have u sorted out insurance quotes yet?' Yes, see previous Noble replies on this subject in response to thread 'noble insurance enquiry' by TJ MAC back in April. E mail me if you want any more detail.



Hope that helps.
