It will be delivered mid-September now... I feel like I've bought a unicorn haha

So you will actually get it mid September or it still has to clear customs at that point?

Arrival in mid-September so I assume it will need to clear customs etc...
I'm probably looking at 3rd week of September now

What's happened sounds similar to what the girl at MB explained to me that the car can reach the end of production but then if they just have to go back and do a quick check over of something, which might only take a day or two, it can then push your car back 1-2 weeks as it then loses its allocated spit on the boat or the train that takes it to the boat. So it's possible for someone with a later build date to actually get their car before yours due to this.
That might have been it. I'm just hoping for good weather between now and then for mine, and hopefully smooth sailing for you too now. Either way sounds like September is going to be one hell of a month for both of us.

Yes I've been told about 10-12 days to clear customs here in Brisbane.

Yes, sounds like what happened. Oh well, let the waiting game continue.
Until then we can enjoy the new pictures that surface haha.

Hey Sanch,
Just ask the dealer for your VIN and you can track it yourself
Mines also delayed by a 4 to 6 weeks, July build but due to some product rework on software issue it missed the boat. Has been sitting at the Marshalling yard in Bremen for a few weeks. Meant to be on the boat this week for a mid late September delivery.
Fingers crossed it makes the boat tomorrow

@Sanch. Sorry to hear about the delay. Still haven't had any confirmation about mine either. I get the feeling that we are all being affected by the same delays.

I was a JUNE 11 build so severely delayed now as it seems plenty of July builds are already at sea.
Nearing 12 mths from order now.

Spotted a new C63S Coupe here in Orange County yesterday morning on the 5 South. This picture is terrible quality and doesn't do it any justice. It is absolutely breathtaking in person.
I also managed to capture a short video which I've posted on my Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/ms_kadybrown/
We each gave each other a thumbs up then went on our merry ways.

I didn't even notice the bumper stops! I had to take a look at the rear of my car to see if I had them, too, and I do! Altogether, though, I like having the license plate on the bumper instead of the trunk lid.

Thats the correct website but it wont show up until they load onto the ship. My dealer was able to check on their system as to progress before that, ie built on the 13 July and in Marshalling yard prior to getting on the boat.

Just had confirmation that my C63 S Edition 1 is scheduled to start build on 8th September And was told told there should not be a delay if so should only be a week.

My car has finally left the factory (4-8-2016) and is on its way to the port (Zeebrugge).

Fantastic news Dragon! Didn't hear anything from my dealer yet but they never tell me anything anyway, so hopefully mine's on the same boat (along with the rest of the August UK recipients)

Lets hope so Trim, I thought you might have actually got yours already! It is just marginally possible they are on the ship now from Zeebrugge!
