UPDATE
Received a "courtesy" call from dealer- good news delivery anticipated end may- bad news no tv and the interior is nutmeg not arabica!!
Told sales manager wrong spec-"it's whats on order sheet and no changes can be made after 6 weeks prior to delivery"
I did point out his sales colleague took down the colours a week after initial deposit ( I thought the dark colour was nutmeg so changed to arabica)
He thinks he's doing me a great favour by phoning the factory but what do I do if I'm not happy? Would I lose my deposit if I tell him to stick it and go somewhere else?

UPDATE
OMG - it's finally on its way- only 4 months on..! Arriving at dealers Thursday. Difficult for me to get there on a thursday TBH, they are anxious to close the deal- presumably to hit their June sales target. I was going to fetch it Saturday, but they want to finalise payment thursday. I'll try to get there thurs evening. 1 thought I have had though- the "12 month" road tax will actually be 11 I assume as I will be picking up evening of 30th June! should I try to get something back from them or just let it go??

Colour choice is a tough one. I am pondering this for when I change to a D4. Hmmm...

Figured out how to post pics onto the forum
HSE in Orknry Grey which as you can probably see is a bit bluer in tone than Stornoway
Very pleased with the colour- after much delay!

Is Orkney lighter, or darker, than Stornoway? From the pictures I'm guessing it's lighter, but I'm not sure. I'd love to see a picture of the two colors next to each other.

You could always have gone back to your original post and pressed 'edit' and changed it - no one would ever know (well, they would but would be too polite to say anything, probably) - I only discovered the edit thing recently and given my smelling have found it invaluable
Love the colour btw, whatever you choose to call it.
