Hi All.
Yes i want the same vehicle.
Yes it was registered and ready for delivery prior to lockdown.
It was from factory stock.
Thank you everyone for your input, appreciated.

WHEN was it registered? Was it preregistered prior to you committing to buy it? If yes then the 69 plate will apply, otherwise it should have been a 20 plate anyway.

Same car, same spec etc then no problem. Try to get a couple of free services etc for your troubles but if they don't materialise don't worry too much.

It would need to have been registered before March (so at least 3 weeks before lockdown) to get a 69 plate, so I'm curious as to why delivery wouldn't be until July. I know they can be pre-allocated but I thought they couldn't be registered until they were in stock?

I'd ask for some compensation on the missing warranty or a newer car, but I wouldn't be too upset if they rejected it. The new 70 plates start in September anyway so it'll be old either way.
