Well, I thought I'd reply to my September build email today, just to ask if there was any news as I hadn't heard anything since.
I received the following:
Your Emira is still scheduled to begin production in October with a November delivery to follow.
We have commenced checkout for our first campaign of customers as this is proving to be a slow process as we are still putting things in place.
Although the good news is that there are no further delays, and your order has been confirmed and locked in by the Factory.
Once your vehicle is in production you will be invited via email to our checkout process. You will receive an encrypted link to be able to view your order. During the checkout process you will be guided through your final agreement, any PCP if you wish to apply, ID checks and great range of optional extras such as paint protection. You will also be offered delivery or collection options. Once this is completed and verified, we will be in touch to arrange delivery of your Emira!
So, seems I'm out of the club.
