Its the HEV. Originally wanted the PHEV but the lower towing capacity was below the possible weight of my caravan, so HEV it had to be. What have been the reasons behind your delays. Have you ordered anything out of the ordinary?

Hello,

I ordered an N Line S HEV in February. Was originally told May for delivery, but I have already been assigned a '72' number plate so go figure. As it stands, my car arrived at the dealer from Tilbury last week but I won't have it until the start of September now.
I was informed by my dealer however that production is starting to normalise somewhat so hopefully that delays won't be so lengthy.

As I understand it, at least for vehicles built in the EU, some components were sourced from Ukrainian firms which didn't help. I assume they've found alternatives in the mean time.

Nothing special, spec in my sig.
It's just a slow process. Some seem to get lucky and get a car quicker. Sadly not me, So a 72 plate it'll be.
