A WHITEFIELD motor dealership has been inundated with orders for a new car which won't reach the showrooms until August.
And bosses at Mercedes dealers Whitefield Ltd say response from would-be buyers has been "absolutely outstanding".
They are clamouring to purchase the new Mercedes C-class and for Whitefield Ltd, located in Bury Old Road, the model looks like becoming a best-seller even before its UK launch.
Whitefield Ltd, which has sold a number of Mercedes to Manchester United soccer players, is amazed at the reaction.
General manager Mr David Kellett said: "The response has been absolutely astounding with customers wanting to ensure that they are among the first to own the new model.
"Mercedes sales in the UK hit record levels in the first quarter and the new C-class seems certain to be another best-seller."
The first official photographs of the new saloon have only just been released.
Designers and engineers have spent four years and around £820 million creating the new C-class.
