Is it just that Honda UK won't give the dealer the VIN until the car has actually arrived in the UK?

Seems kind of odd to me that the dealer still has absolutely no idea when the car will arrive and in fact they admitted they don't really know that it ever will although that's a worst case scenario.

It all seems a rather lackadaisical way of doing business.
