The message about the impact of the UKs arbitrary 22% (or24% can’t recall) zero emission mandate kicking in in 2024 and the manufacturer vulnerability to the £15k per vehicle fine could be on the spot (see Harry’s Garage for a good overview of the UK mandate and the right figures)
Surely it would be perfectly possible for Toyota to manufacture and ship to the UK a small number of vehicles (say 300) that they then have to hold here before releasing to dealers until they know the overall make up of their annual sales allows them to release them
What isn’t clear is why diesel are any worse that petrol - it’s also surely the case that LC FEs at £80k must be better vehicles to “sell” from a sellers perspective than lower value petrol or diesel that are being discounted to sell and so offer a smaller margin
Does logic apply in Toyotaland ? I have no idea

To my mind there are too many hints at September / October deliveries I would put money on these vehicles are at the UK Docks somewhere probably Bristol maybe Grimsby , the next thing will be held at port for quality checks

How do you know Dave - I have no updates
The App is no longer showing any details of my order - seems to have gone a bit weird - might need to be rebooted
Did you hear from dealer - if so will chase him

My App must have been updating - now shows that it has been build left the Aichi factory and in transit to Portbury which I think is Avonmouth Docks
Do you know how we find out which ship the LCs are on

Found a brilliant post on the GR Yaris forum - it is very long and gives lots of great info on how Toyota ship vehicles
The key takeaways for those looking at shipments from Nagoya to Portbury is as follows
The key takeaways for those looking at shipments from Nagoya to Portbury is as follows
- the ship will have left port 24/48 hrs BEFORE the My Toyota App updates
- the journey to Portbury takes between 28/31 days
- if we take the more conservative dates that suggests arrival latest Sat 21 Sept 2024 at Royal Portbury Docks Bristol
Looks great hope the info is correct thanks for looking has your My toyota updated yet
Dave
Thanks flyingtrotter, looks like the date of 14th Oct from my dealer for might be realistic.

Yes mine has updated this AM after a few minutes of spinning and a reboot
Looks very much like we were correct in our thinking - all UK spec LCs manufactured in one batch and all being shipped together to the UK - likely arrival at Royal Portbury Docks around 20-22 Sept
If that proves to be right and no quality check delays we could be taking delivery in October - seems tight to get delivery in September
KevD your 14 Oct target collection date does seem quite realistic - I do not have a date from my dealer but to be fair to him he seems to have less info than we do

Hello KevD Which Lc have you ordered
Hi Dave, FE in blue
and me
Did you select any options on yours?
So far, dealer hasn't been able to get any info out of Toyota on what each option includes. I particularly wanted to know what was included in the Essential Protection and the Style Packs. The Essential Protection Pack sounded straightforward, with the floor mats and the boot liner, but not so the side moulding. If it's the same as the Canadian option of the stuck-on colour coded door guards, then I wasn't interested. I therefore just selected the fixed towbar. My dealer did say that some items would be available as a dealer fit anyway.

That’s interesting I have not been told about any UK options - in fact my dealer said there was only a colour choice for the UK FE and no options
Can you send details of the packages and pricing - seems like once again the forum knows more than the dealers
