Thats my local dealer (carlisle).
I went for a snoop when they first got it (january i think). The dealer was more interested in mine, but offered a test drive of the new one in return for some pics of them together for their social media.
Liked the car but obviously im not going to spend that amount on a new car to go laning in

Ha ha It's a very small world out there.
Just thought it rather odd that a car that is allegedly in very short supply is given such an elevated and prime position right opposite the entrance to McDonald's drive through! Looked like they were trying very hard to offload it at Easter Weekend? Quite understand your reluctance to buy a new one just to go greenlaning in - although I am rather jealous that you live close to some of the best greenlanes in England.

Certainly seems to be being backed up by recent offers of cancelled orders being up for grabs. There could be some bargains to be had soon enough.

At the moment there are just two new shape cars for sale on Autotrader, both at dealerships, both very likely demo cars and both, way, way over list price (£21k and £22,995). If people need to get out of their cars through dislike of the actual characteristics or through being disillusioned with the service, then I'm not sure many of those people will be desperate to sell for a loss creating loads of 'bargains'. Perhaps more likely they'll try to sell for a profit too?!?
