Default 2024 build time frame is what these days?

For folks that ordered a custom build recently (within the past 3 months only), what has been the expected build time? Last I asked at my dealership, it was about a 6 month window. I'm hoping for a quicker turn around, as it's been a while since I checked. I would be ordering what's likely the most popular (the 110 with their 3.0L engine). Thanks!

We are in Scotland and have had the same lead time on our order.

Wife ordered a 110 X-Dynamic HSE 250D to replace her current 110 XS Edition, based on the Vista report the order was placed with factory on 26th February, last change date 15th May, build day 26th June with delivery planned for 26th July.

5 months beginning to end

I guess it depends on the specs. I ordered an 110 D200 with only a few options early in December and it was delivered Mid-March. Forgot to mention, I live in germany, so transit time from the factory are shorter😊

Ordered a P300 90 in early February and the build was completed April 5. Delivery is estimated at May 31 with handover June 7. This is in Florida. All told it should be just over 4 months but it sure feels longer!

I ordered last week, 13 April and have a build date of 07 June with estimated delivery of 16 August. If all goes as planned, my wait time should be a few days over four months.

Dealer 1: "We're the biggest dealer around! We have allocations galore!"
Dealer 1, the next day after I submitted my build request: "No allocations or info available. It will come 9 months after we order it, if we ever do..."
Dealer 1, five months later: "It will come when it comes if we ever order it. Also, don't bother bugging us with impertinent questions like 'will you actually order one?' because you will get the same answer."

Dealer 2: "We have an immediate allocation! It will come SO soon!"
Dealer 2, four months later: "Yeah, it's 'still' scheduled for months later than that earlier date we quoted." (Me: "still", eh?)
Dealer 2, two months later than that: "Yeah, it's 'still' scheduled for many months later than that second earlier date. Also, we can't be bothered responding to your emails about the changes we agreed to make to your build, so enjoy guessing about whether we made them or not (hint: No, we didn't, as we can't be bothered.)."

Where are you located? I’m in Southern California and ordered with Land Rover Riverside. I was told when I placed my order 7 months. They told me 4 days later est. delivery is ~4 months. Obviously until I see this is what I have to go on.
