Great news!
Although that's a bit mean phoning just before a weekend and saying would you like to collect it on Monday.Andy

Especially as it probably means the car has arrived at the dealer and is ready for handover, they just don't have staff available to do the handover.
Talking of handovers, presumably each dealer is different, but is there a typical Land Rover handover process? My two existing cars were made pre-technology so the handover was how to turn the radio on and off. Do they tend to go through he advanced options or just check you a set of keys?MY16 D4 Graphite in Loire Blue

Ah but which Monday.
Only kidding, of course it will be ready. What can possibly go wrong?

LR recommend the handover takes an hour I think, though for me it's about 20mins, sign the paperwork and a refresh on anything that's new. I'm on my 8th LR so it's just skip the nonsense and give me the keys 23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

The big companies pay pretty well. I do stage carriage rather than tours.
LRs are getting a bit too expensive now though.23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green
