Ahh....that would make sense.schrader7032 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 08, 2021 7:47 amI think it suggests that Butler & Smith took possession of them at the factory, thus it was "delivered".

Re: '55 R69 on Ebay
coffee can .. I seem to recall Vech telling me they came both ways when I asked him about it. Perhaps he will see this and weigh in.

Re: '55 R69 on Ebay
I wondered if it was a language thing, or whether B&S (or whomever) was literally waiting outside the factory gate.
A query on this to Andreas Harz got this reply-
"The delivery date is – as far as we can say – the date the bike left the factory storage, not the day it arrived at the country it was sent to."
So just slightly different word usage; while "delivered" to us may mean "received," from the German factory point of view it simply meant "shipped" or "sent."
Best-
George
