Peter.... has yours turned up at Johnsons Liverpool? Mine may be on the same lorry.

I ordered mine with the leather/alcantara interior, I made it clear to my dealer that this was the main reason for a factory order. If mine turns up without this after my dealer confirmed it would have it I will be cancelling.

I could of bought one months ago if this was the case so a waste of over 4 months struggling with no car.

They’ve had a white one ordered with it turn up without. Mine isn’t actually with them yet, but is in the country apparently. I think the lead time was the same with or without this option though, assuming a factory order anyway which ours was.

My FR with alcantara is being built this week and I was in the dealer today getting my Leon serviced. I got them to check on the system and they said the order looked fine and I should be ok

Because the dealer called to tell me. How they know I’m not sure, but it is apparently in the country.


Correction, it is now at the dealer. I suspect it was there yesterday when he contacted me... ;)
I’ve had the video :)

Yeah it’s a real shame ours hasn’t. But it’s for my partner not me, and he’s not that bothered. So I’ll pocket the saving :)

Pleased with the way it looks;still reckon the bi colour 17” wheels would have looked better and would definitely not get curbed as easily, but they weren’t available on the FR... And only just over 3 weeks to go until collection!

Yes, mine is at Johnson’s Liverpool. I’d be interested to hear if yours does have the Alcantara...

I wonder what about my order I had to cancel. Perhaps dealer kept it, it was suppose to be 5th week with Alcantara.

Not heard anything. I am pretty sure it has been delivered but I seem to have been doing all the chasing lately so I will wait until they get in touch.

I got an email on the 15th Jan to say it was at the port in Spain...... :blink:

I was called just before Christmas to say it was at port in Spain, but it didn’t arrive with them until early Feb, so it might not be there yet I guess. Should be soon! What colour is yours?

Mine is Desire Red.

That took a long time to get to the UK dealership!

The best colour

I’m not surprised it took a while - I got the call the Friday before Christmas, so I don’t suppose it left Spain until the New Year. It then takes 7 to 10 days for an Audi to get from port to a dealer, so I assume a SEAT is the same. Arriving in Liverpool on the 4th/5th is possible. Although I suspect it turned up earlier than that and then a few days were spent deciding what to do about it being the wrong spec ;)

My car has finally arrived at the dealers... got a video of the car this afternoon.

I confirm it has come with the alcantara seats and fake leather dash. :)

Ah that’s good news :)
Look forward to seeing some pictures!
And it looks like SEAT did mis-build mine ours then - disappointing :(
On the plus side, I saved some money!

Did your dealer **** up or was it an error from SEAT in Spain?
