Looks good in Black and I'm sure you will agree looks even better in the flesh.

my local garage are getting theirs today as well. going to pop in on my way home for a look - though its not ready for any drives..
their demo is in red, and a black showroom model arriving sometime after.. really liking the black.. but have always found them a pain to keep looking clean!

SL · 06-26-2012, 04:52 AM

dont know if its of interest.. but from dvla.. only £255 (inc all fees, which is pretty reasonable) for T* YGT ... eg. [T6Y GT] [T8Y GT]
.. i have one myself

I'll cruise by my local Toyota dealer later and do a bit of gloating.

T minus 5 hours

Toyota Warrington said theirs should be here in the next couple of weeks.

North Wales/Queensferry Toyota havnt got back to me, but i've not phoned recently.

Nearest subaru dealer is again north wales but i think i prefer the GT86 to the BRZ

I've just called my local dealer (Inchcape nottingham), and they don't have one in their showrooms yet. That and they can't give me an ETA as to when they will have one.

I'm running impatient, I really want to see one and test drive it!

Although having said that, the dealership in Mansfield is expecting one on the 1st of July.

Was in Rotherham with work today. Nipped into Pentagon Toyota for a peek on the way home. Arrived to see a Hot Orange GT just leaving with a service guy at the wheel. Looked nice.

Just been to RMB Toyota Teesside and they have a burnt orange GT86 with leather and auto gear box. I was allowed to sit in it but not allowed to drive it until after the official launch on the 1st July. OMG it was a thing of beauty

I'm glad you say that cos I've just put down a deposit on an Orange 6MT GT86, without even seeing one. Arrival date 25th July

Can't wait!

I ordered a Red 6MT, with Black/Red Leather and Sat Nav on December 2nd and they have giving me an ETA of 20-26th September.

I am furiours. I have written to Toyota to complain.

From what I heard it all depends on your spec. I think my quick ETA is because I've ordered pretty much a stock car: official orange paint, standard interior and manual. Your spec is a bit rarer, I guess, especially the red interior, so I've heard anyway...

The dealer mentioned they have had delays with cars order with the sat nav....

Very annoying. Lets hope they are not too common to quickly!

.. mine's been on order since dec, and due last week of august.

Was looking forward to my test drive today but got a call this morning to say they aren't going to register their demo until 1st July so I could come and look but not drive.

Went to have a look anyway.

Still no delivery dates for me other than "sometime in July". (ordered February)

Dealer did mention they only had an allocation of 6 GT's for this year (sold 3).

Not sure if the stories of Sat Nav spec'd cars being delayed is true. Although I didn't play with the Toyota Touch the dealer said it was a fully spec'd car with Sat Nav (certainly had metallic and leather).
