B5 arrives in the next week or so. Guessing it's probably close to being built before shipping next week! If only there were online order tracking and other such geekery - closest I've got is a bit of marine ship tracking from Gothenburg to Southampton!

My dealer said that it depends on which part of the country that you are in determines which port they use . I see you’re in the midlands so that would be the same port that my car arrived in , immingham on the Humber.

I have seen a collection of gift wrapped Volvos at Portsmouth Docks by the Brittany Ferry assembly area, there was no way to tell if they were in or outbound.

I thought that Volvo had a large storage and distribution depot in the Immingham area.

I've read a few articles about ship tracking, seems they use both Southampton and Immingham. When it's Southampton, they can often stop off at Zeebrugge first, and sometimes then head off to the USA after Southampton after picking up some UK exports.
