It is 400 in three months, still not many I agree. I would imagine that will be geared up for 2014 to produce more that 1600.

It is with great sadness that I have had to cancel the order for the car as they were unable to guarantee mid feb as a delivery date and my wife really needs a car before Christmas. Its a shame because I really was excited about ordering it but I just can't wait that long and even mid feb isn't guaranteed. Maybe once they are more freely available then I will look at them again but as my wife is without a car we just can't wait that long.

I wonder how long Alan_G waited for his vehicle.

That is a fair wait to be honest. My mate is looking to get a white one & he has been quoted Mid to late Feb but the dealer said most folk are waiting for the 14 plate anyway.
I waited 6.5 Months for my first Evoque & I ordered the Fiesta ST just over a week ago & that isn't expected till Mid Feb either.

Have you checked dealers on Autotrader to see if they have one?

Interesting new brochure for the MG 6 but still no interior options!!!!!
The 3 does look like a promising proposition and if supply becomes an issue for would be customers then MG Motor really have dropped a b****** yet again. I had a good look at the one at the Classic Car Show and although some elements are clearly sourced down to a price rather than up to a spec, at the price it can't be faulted and I hope to does well. It looks good.
