Feeling a bit ripped as I know this is :censored: crap!
Maybe it gives them the option of swapping cars around the country - who knows!
Nope.Quote:

Pickles.
Yeah I got my VIN before production even commenced, all order slots should have a VIN allocated. I could then double check the specs on Topix to make sure they'd got it right.
You might be right about swapping vehicles around, but it'd have to be a pretty generic build spec you'd think to get away with that?
Well mine is travelling in the company of two other 110's, a 90, and two Range Rover Sports. I wonder what they are getting up to...:p:p:pQuote:

So I got my VIN and plugged it into the 2W Global tracking page and I'm a little confused. In the voyage details it says the ETA for Fremantle is 16/1/16, but in the 'Status' section below it says Liner Release in Fremantle 13/1/16.
So I guess it's already here and unloaded? My car's birthday is 1/12/15 :)
If you go to the Fremantle port's website: https://www3.fremantleports.com.au/VTMIS/ it shows the Asian King docking at 4:00am tomorrow.
I wonder how they change The VIN on the dock since its bolted to the car. I understood it tied all the details together as It rolls down the production lineQuote:

We didn't expect to be able to see much, but went for a drive alongside the docks anyway. There were lots of BMWs, Porsches and various other makes, then we got to the Land Rovers and eventually started seeing Defenders. Sure enough, at the very end of the line of cars unloaded, was my little Corris 110 (w/black pack, contrast leather, side steps, front mud flaps all there as ordered). It absolutely made my day :D
There didn't seem to be many 110s on the docks. Just my car, a white one, a Keswick (I think?) and what seemed like an awful lot of handsome looking 90s.
Anyway, I jammed my camera through the gaps in the fence and snapped a few cheeky shots to keep me going while I wait for a call from the dealer to say she's ready. It'll be a long couple of weeks, but I couldn't be more excited! Naturally, I had to spend the afternoon at a bar to calm down ;)

I am thrilled for you. Great Pics,..put 'em in your "Defender Book"!!
I suggest that you ask your Dealer if he can take pics of your vehicle going through the PD procedure at the Dealership, alternatively ask if you can come in & take pics.
I also suggest that you request that they not use a heavy buff on your paint,...ask for a light hand polish,...as the paint is new, this should suffice.
Happy Days, Pickles.
