Is the Rapide available yet? Saw a 59 plate today

[Zippee]

As per the title, I saw a left hooker 59 plate Rapide today in gunmetal near the A14 junction in Huntingdon. Very dirty and in desperate need of a wash but it looked fantastic and really suits the 4 doors. Was 3 up and being driven by a young chap with a beard - journo perhaps? I didn't think they'd been officially released yet...

There are a few knocking about and I've seen a rhd one, which I thought was a customers car, but a friend of mine works at the factory in Austria and he said they don't start coming off the line until next week.

Could have been Garlick / PH crew who were taking one for a blat around France on Saturday. Expecting a write up on it today

garlick and stu, it's very nice although it's a bit of a squeeze inside for such a large car

We were only allowed to place an order December 5th 2009 (No earlier) and were originally told March delivery, then April, now sometime in May...have been it will be one of the first 10 customer cars in the country. The dealerships don't get there demo cars until the middle of April.
