My Namib orange first edition is built and my dealer have called it over but don't have a confirmed date as yet. They are getting s car for the showroom in the next couple of weeks but aren't allowed to register it or drive it until 20th Feb. Hopefully my car will be here ready for 1st March. Sold my five month old evoque autobiography today so hopefully won't be to long until I have a nice car again.

Hi v2cjb
If you could post some photos when you get it that would be great. I'm thinking the Namib Orapnge as well. But I see photos with varying shades so to be honest I'm not too sure. The marketing Photos look awesome. Seems odd too that you can get the car but not allowed to Register it until a certain date.

Soon as it arrives at my dealer I will be taking some pics and certainly will put them on here. It's great when you see a real world picture instead of a press photo hey. I really do think it will look nice in Namib and also here in the U.K if I went for farallon black or silicon silver they don't get the black wheels.

Just spoken to the dealer and my car is going into build 24 Feb and should be ready sometime in March. I hope the car is registered before the vehicle tax rates kick in on the 1st April!

I ordered last Saturday and still no news on expected build / delivery dates - how long should this take to come through?
