My Sportline still isn’t built but the Wife’s getting her 72 plate Hybrid Evoque tomorrow. Ordered in March. I ordered Sept 21. Not fair. She just laughs at me. 
T6.1 new order delays

What you getting mate?
Over the last few days I have spent looking for another van as feel there is no hope with my current van.
Found a van with less of a spec , missing led headlights, t30 not t32 and DSG for more than what my current order is ( more money for less of a spec)
Whilst speaking to this dealer he has told me that the reason for this is they have stopped production on t32 due to wheels and tyre issues , has anyone heard this or is this a sales pitch .
I asked my existing order dealer for some more info on my order and about these wheel/tyre issues and wasn’t pleased with the reply .
Basically was told there is no news on my order and no sign of it (13months and counting)
He has also been very honest and said there is people who ordered after me and vans have arrived
If need a van that I should consider this option as they have no info and didn’t even reply regarding the wheel and tyre issues .
Part of me is thinking the dealer is wanting my order so that they could make more on it but getting really fed up of this lack of info and news .

Yeah, I've heard this before. Not sure if there's any truth in it though.
If you can brazen it out, I'd wait. The whole process is a shambles but if they're happy for you to buy a van from elsewhere then they must have an eye on flogging your van for more whenever it arrives. don't give them the satisfaction, wait for what you ordered, otherwise you may regret paying more for a lesser spec.... No LED would be a backwards step.
I waited 15 months, but it did arrive in the end.
I agree with VIoletVW. You’ve waited this long, what’s a few more months. If the next iteration of the T6.1 is going to be a joint effort between Ford & VW, I know which I’d rather have.
My wait time was 18 months from order to delivery, it sucks, but hang in there.
The pinzgauer is an amazing bit of kit but they do like to spend a great deal of time off road ......... in the workshop for repairs, I used 2 of them for 10 years and the mechanics saw them much more than me.
Hi All. Another update. Ordered end of March 21. 204 4motion DSG kombi. Was given a build week of 15th August and I got a phone call two day's a go to say that it should be delivered at the end of this month. I think that works out at 19 months from order to delivery. As I said in my last post. I will not completely belive it until it is on the drive. I still have my fingers crossed. Hang in there all who are waiting. They do come eventually,( I hope.)
Reading this on the beach in Turkey. Happy dayz buddy! My status 10 build slot is next Monday 12th September. Waiting with baited breath.
Status 40 this morning! Ordered Nov 21.
