Not exactly your specification but Holy Crapola it's a great car. You can have a couple of days reading the manuals while it's being coated.

My congratulations on the new car Dave. Excellent choice and the supplying dealer seems on point

Well, Alex beat me to it but he did have a sneak preview. At least it saved me looking for this thread 
So, after a long wait the car has finally arrived. A few days late but this was due to minor delays both at the factory and then the docks. James at MB Norwich has been brilliant, constantly keeping in touch and making me aware of what's been happening throughout the whole process. He also managed to pinch a day from the transport company, enabling delivery this week and not next, which has helped a bit. It's obviously too late for my detailing guy to sort out this week unfortunately, but there's not a lot I can do about that as it's been out of my hands. I will however make sure that he's not completely out of pocket as he moved stuff around to accommodate me. The dealer hasn't touched the bodywork, purely due to my request, so it's not been cleaned apart from a very quick swill here, mainly just to get the water marks off it as it's been lashing down all morning.
I was going to lock myself and the car in the garage with it for a few hours but really not in the mood today. See what tomorrow brings I suppose.
A couple of quick pictures, a lot more to come when it's looking something like...
After a quick clean and dry: -

Very nice, especially the interior, might even consider giving you the option to swap if for my beloved SLK

As I said to you before pal - that is probably my favourite colour combination; it’s stunning.
Congratulations - you deserve to treat yourself after what you’ve been going through pal.

Congrats Dave, that is a cracker.
Sorry to hear that you aren't feeling up to bonding with your new motor on delivery day. Get plenty of rest mate and I hope you'll be up to blasting over the hill for a catch up soon.

I love that.
Always had a soft spot for tan or red leather.

Really glad it all arrived ok and I’m sorry I couldn’t give you a call today. I really appreciate the positive feedback too.
As I said to you the other day, I think you got the spec absolutely spot on. I was a little nervous that you hadn’t seen it, so relieved that you’re happy with the final result.
Hopefully you’ll have plenty of opportunity to drive it soon!
