I received a call from the dealer on Thursday; the first customer on their list (black SZ4) either cancelled or wasn't ready to complete and as he knew I wanted black would I want it....? The car was at the dealer already and I jumped at the chance. He called again this morning and within an hour we were at the dealer paying the balance and driving away with huge grins! I'm really happy with black, I just need to get the rear windows tinted!


That was a lucky break, not long to wait from call to collection either. Hope you enjoy it as much as I am mine.

Same ship my car is allegedly on. This is the first time I've bought a brand new car and my experience so far has been poor; this is the second one I've had to put a deposit on. So I'll believe it when I see it.

If your interested there's a couple of websites you can track the ship on. It is currently off the coast of Italy.

Would you mind sharing the sites? What info does one need to have to hand to track their vehicle? I'll be chatting to my local dealer on Monday to see where things are so it'd be good to be able to ask some pertinent questions.

All you need is the name of the boat your car is supposedly on from your dealer. I've been tracking Leo Spirit since it left Japan late December. It's made fast progress in the past two weeks, its got from Malaysia to Greece and Italy. I don't know where its next destination is but my understanding is the cars for the UK go to Belgium first, undergo a decontamination wash and then get sent over to Grimsby to the distribution yard. I'd hope they'd be in the UK by this time next month.

I'm going to wait until Leo Spirit has left ZeeBrugge and then give the dealer a ring a couple of days later - the Suzuki system should have had long enough to update and tell them its been unloaded, and see what they say.

www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/shi.../vessel:LEO%20SPIRIT

www.vesselfinder.com/vessels/LEO-SPIRIT-...20695-MMSI-373057000

These two sites are pretty good for tracking. Sometimes they can be a few hours behind, but you get a rough idea.
