    If you ordered it back in January it should have been built way before March 6th.

    I ordered mine Jan 17th and it was built Feb 12th.

    It takes around 8-10 hours to fully build one car. So it should be built on the same day and will be checked over and shipped to the uk in the next 2-3 weeks or so.

    Bare in mind that the new Fiesta is in high demand atm meaning theres probs more orders than there is cars so they are going to fall behind on build dates. Hence why theres a very long wait for new Fiesta's

    Orderred my car 31 Jan. My build date is 20 March and arrival 21 Apr. Cars are built in colour batches so depending whe the colour is planned can affect delivery. Normally 4 weeks from build to delivery.

    Ordered mine in late Jan and luckly got a build date for 2nd Feb, ended up being built on the 5th though! Was suppose to arrive on the 18th Feb but still waiting on it and will be another week still :) Dont get your hopes up for fast delivery, because as you will read on here a lot of use are sadly waiting for their new toy to arrive :)
