Welcome, Hozepipe.

Your nearest are likely to be Glyn Hopkin (Romford) and Lipscomb (Aylesford).

I'm in Surrey, and there is a big, annoying hole in the network in the south east at the moment.  I ended up buying from Westover, Poole.

If you've not heard anything about your 500 yet, I'd definitely recommend you rang Abarth UK direct (00800 2227 8400).

Hi Hozepipe - had the same conundrum.. ended up call Abarth on Wed.. allegedly sorted now

John - quick q - how do your orders get prioritized...? Just wondering if Westover don't hear about me until now, but according to my Abarth order no I'm #39.. do I get put ahead of any orders that Westover have taken since July... ie it's driven by Abarth centrally, or do I get put at the 'end' of their queue as per when they heard of me??

Hi Jon,

As suggested, I contacted Abarth by email for an update on my deposit and dealer advice - no reply. I therefore called them. The kid who answered knew next to nothing regarding how to take the process forward. The only thing he could offer was that he'd get a dealer from Romford to contact me.

That was last week and still nothing and the dealer is a 150mile round trip away from me.

If this is any indication of how Abarth intend to treat customers, I think I'll give up.
