Alfa Tonale, and Northampton

Recently booked a test drive with Motorvogue dealership for a Alfa Tonale TI, (Saturday, yesterday was New Years day so shut). Had a phone call from them , this afternoon, stating the the car I could potentially have would be ready at the end of the month had been sold, Which is fine. I said, that on their website, they had one in stock at Kings Lynn, the retort to this was, sorry sir that has also been sold. Great achievement, selling two of these in less than 24 hours of trading. This is considering, the car has been on sale since February/march, and I have yet to see one on the road, and believe me I do fair few miles a year. My son-in-law is an area manager for Car enterprise rentals, confirms that he has not seen one yet, and yes he does loads of miles on the road too. My point is, that I wanted the car on the Motorbility scheme, I wonder if if this the reason, why these two cars have been sold in less than 24hrs. Now as a lover of the brand having owned. a 2L twin spark 147, a 155 bhp Mito, a 2l Giulietta Sportiva and current owner of a 124 Fiat Spider (which I cannot drive due to my situation) , and a Fiat Panda 4x4. You can see that I am loyal to the brand. Such disappointing service from an Alfa dealership. I could be wrong about the Motorbility scheme, but I doubt it. Next stop Alfa Romeo GB. Thank you.
