Roadster deliveries

[razbox]

Is there someone on this board who placed their Roadster order in March last year? If so, what is your expected delivery date?

My London dealer somehow mislaid my order and are now offering me a Roadster in November. Not sure I want it in the depths of winter...

I know that it's not quite what you're asking, but I was offered a December build-date for a Roadster a couple of weeks ago without having placed any order with that dealership. So November is probably a month or two earlier than someone ordering now would get one, which doesn't seem much considering you ordered it a year ago.

I picked up my V8 Vantage, Feb '06 and rolled the deposit over for the Roadster.
I went to the Dealer Launch in Reading yesterday evening and was told I have an October build date.

They has a black car with charcoal leather/yellow stitching & one in a beautiful pearlescent white finish with bitter chocolate leather. Both cars were absoloutly stunning!

Sad to report though that roof up, even with the seats adjusted to their lowest position and raked back, my head/hair was irritatingly in contact with the lining (I'm 6'2" and definitely don't have the thatch for a particularly bouffant couiffeur!

If this can't be sorted, does anyone want my slot?

Lack of headroom on the Roadster a bit worrying. I'm 6' 5" and fits nicely (albeit a little snug around the rear) in the coupe with an inch or two from head to roof. I'm off to Geneva this Friday for the motor show and, thanks to local dealer invite to the AM stand, will test the headroom myself. Expected delivery date of August for my Roadster and really don't want to trawl around the Geneva halls looking for something to replace this order - if only because there is nothing I've seen in the press photos that comes close in terms of looks & performance.
