I ordered a new car before lockdown - can I cancel it because it hasn't been delivered?
I ordered a new car before the Coronavirus lockdown. It was supposed to be delivered 31 March but due to the showroom closing, this this not happen. My order form states I can cancel and get my deposit back if they do not deliver within 42 days of this due to breach of contract. Would this still apply under the current circumstances?

If the contract says that then I imagine you will be entitled to cancel the order. However, unless you plan to buy a pre-reg car, you may face a lengthy wait for another factory fresh car due to the coronavirus lockdown.
