Hi Jordan and thanks for coming back to us. Yes, I imagine that dealers were free to use whatever car or cars they wished as a demo, including yours. According to what we understand, the dealer concerned would have been allocated a Wedgwood blue launch car anyway.

Although the official launch cars were Connoisseur specification with optional extras fitted, you will find that many (if not all) of them did not have the SE features such as reversing sensors, automatic dipping rear view mirror and rain-sensitive wipers. They didn't have electric folding door mirrors either. So your SE is most likely to be better specified than an official Wedgwood blue dealer launch car!

Anyway, what does it matter? You have a lovely Cowley car which I am sure will give you and your passengers much pleasure.

All the best,

Simon
