Not a complaint by any means, just wondering, based on recent experience of anyone here who has had one in the recent past what the estimated delivery time compared to actual delivery time is likely to be.
Been told 10-12 weeks, is this about right or do they generally come earlier or later than that in reality.
I am in no great hurry as I wouldn't be doing anything until the weather gets better but it would be nice to know roughly when to expect it.
Its slightly unusual as it will be a six pot petrol chassis
 
I've just checked my emails to check the dates on mine.
When I ordered mine, they were quoting 8-10 weeks delivery, and I eventually received mine after just over 14 weeks.
In all fairness, I had a few extra brackets welded on to mine for an internal roll bar, so it wasn't a standard build. They did try to phone me a few times to clarify some details, and it took me a few days to get back to them, but they then went silent on me for about a month when I was expecting the delivery. The next thing, it was ready. I think pretty typical behaviour for a small engineering company!
Also, I wasn't actually ready for the chassis so I didn't chase them as hard as I could have, had I needed it sooner.
 
Ok, so it is unlikely to turn up earlier which suits me. I need to get some work done at the side of the house to put up the temp garage to carry out the work anyway. Since the Landy won't fit in the main workshop I need daylight to work on it so nothing likely to happen before April anyway.
Its been sitting outside for about 5 years, haven't wanted to strip anything down before I had a chassis to start bolting bits back onto anyway.
 
I spose it depends how many orders they are working on. You need to factor in the festive holiday period so that may take a week or two extra.

I was just wanting to be sure it wasn't likely to turn up early, although to be fair I would have been quite surprised if it did. It is supposed to be due mid Feb but to be fair as long as it is here by the end of April I am not bothered.
I have one of those Clarke tent garages and the idea is to get the chassis painted and then the axles and bulkhead on then start to build from there. Funnily enough even the missus wants it built so that it looks exactly as it does now apart from removing some dents and the larger damage from storage where things have been dropped on it. The mechanics will be done properly onto a new chassis but the body is going to stay the same, faded paint and all. All she wants is more comfortable seats inside
I need to find an Fairey for it though, doesn't have one at the moment.
