They say it will probably be without headlamp washers but can't be definite which is amazing, so Crystal White T5 petrol with Charcoal and 19" alloys. Delivery is being projected as June/July, so looks like they will be making the First Edition for a while yet! Will update again when I get this confirmed in writing!

Still waiting to hear about my T5 order. My dealer has been in touch, it is still awaiting processing at Volvo. He is going to check again tomorrow.

So the UK website has removed the FE now. It's your full suite of spec levels now...interesting how much a top-spec R-Design Pro (ala FE) will cost on the configurator...

chingfOrd, good spot. At the moment I can only see the momentum as an option. ( Edit: Idiot - didn't see the really obvious (not) selection options at the top of the first config page)

Very quick spec up of T5 R-Pro to FE comes in at £45.4k (inc lava and premium metallic) - I may have missed something. Gut feel is that is probably close as I did do some quick calc's at order time and the "benefit" was circa £4-5kk by ordering the FE.

And don't forget to add the fact that for the first 5-years you would be paying £310 additional road tax !

Wow.... you guys had me worried.

I test drove last Sunday and although I put down a deposit there and then, it’s taken me until yesterday to decide how to fund the car and sign on the dotted line.

A panicked email to the dealer over night asking if I really have a FE car in the system and I am told not to worry.

Dealer says car should have 20inchers and washer jets too.

All very strange.

It's insulting.
Just wondered if anyone has accepted the offer of £350 discount for the reduction in spec on MY19 First Editions or negotiated more?!
