I will be calling round on Monday and getting on the list for the new 500. Never been bothered about new cars before, but I just want one of these and can't wait.

My question is, can anyone tell me what specs will be available and rough idea of prices for each.

I know the 1.2 pop is going to be £7999 What other models are available. I want a 100hp motor ideally, but not sure which models this will come in.

Can anyone help?

Finally, if I order now, when might I actually take delivery?

Thanks guys

No idea about prices or trim levels in the UK though.

OK. Placed an order today.

You can get all the engines in all the trim levels.

I got the 100hp in the pop spec. Cost was £9800 (subject to confirmation at launch). Air con was the only extra I went for for now, at £500 for the basic aircon, but can add options before build. You just need to specify engine, trim level and exterior colour with initial order.

Sport 100hp was £10800
Base pop was £7999

Yes I was told that orders need to be in for 31st Oct.

Is Jive that light blue? Really liked the look of that myself.

It's not the powder (baby) blue, it's a sort of lighter than Navy.

No the stripe is a bit ghey isn't it.

I'm going with the chrome options instead of graphics, I like the retro look

Only thing that stopped me going for white is that when I search on google, 90% of the cars on there are white

So? Go for the colour YOU want. Doesn't matter what other people have.

Well I like the blue, it's a nice retro colour to suit the car.
