The JCB way is high volume/low margin - hence the large discounts they offer and their high proportion of sales.
It's just a shame VW can't currently deliver those volumes.

Just been looking at VW's May 2022 list price that @Pauly has kindly uploaded to the forum today.
Ignoring the dealer discount I got from JCB Ashford, the OTR price for my spec of van has gone from £47.5k (as at order on 20 May 2021) to £54.5k. That's an increase of almost 15%!!!
This increase doesn't even take into consideration that the original price includes an electric tailgate (then a £720 option), which appears to no longer be an option.

My black T32 150 Manual Highliine panel van with Park Assist, Heated seats, power latching, LEDs, Discoverer Media has finally arrived after ordering in July 21.
It's now over at the guys at Van Haven who I purchased through for a complete transformation inside and out so hopefully I should get it in 4 - 6 weeks.

Ph so my order October 21 should be here by May 2023 ! Joke
19 months - that's the magic number.
I've got the same status and the same build week, but I ordered 2 months earlier than you. Tbh, I hadn't considered a Christmas shutdown (is that a thing?), so perhaps 19 isn't the magic number for me. More likely 21.
Haha - no worries mate. I've told myself I'll never see my van in the hope that, eventually, I'll be pleasantly surprised.
Just had a phonecall from JCB Sittingbourne. My LWB Sportline is now built and on the way to port. Should be in the UK in 10 days then sent to wales to 4-5 weeks to have all the Sportline stuff chucked on it. Been told pick up end of November ish. Ordered June 28th 2021. Bit of wee came out when I got the news

Some vans are still coming through in around 6 months - it just depends on the spec of the van and which dealer you've ordered through.
Damn you! I ordered the same as you April 21 from lookers Guildford and the latest update was build week 50. Glad you have nearly got yours but I have definitely lost interest in having one now.Just had a phonecall from JCB Sittingbourne. My LWB Sportline is now built and on the way to port.

Well I have had the great fun of paying for the van today as it's at the dealers now! I have only had to wait since March this year as I managed to change a slot that the converter already had from August last year. I count myself very lucky and very broke....SWB 4-Motion 204 DSG, etc, etc, etc
Good luck to all those waiting.
