Ford have now closed the order books on the 2022 uk models of Mach 1 .
I think production has really picked up recently - my GT that was ordered around 20th March for a Dec-Jan delivery has now been built and the dealer reckons it could potentially be in the country as early as the end of August.
I’ve had a message from my Dealer this morning to say that mine has now been built and is working it’s way to the UK. QQ- anyone know how long that normally takes?

At least that means you get heated and cooled seats.... I wouldn't have Recaros for that reason.

Do you know how long it took to get from built stage to now being ready for delivery next week?

Dealer contacted me 12th May with August date which I thought was the build date but it turn out to be delivery to showroom thinking of them keeping it in storage so that I have the new plate 1st sept if it was at the new price I would have cancelled but the car is old invoice price £3300 lower than current RRP.still upset on having a base car in purple.

know this doesn't help much with your disappointment but is there any chance you can buy the Recaro's

at a later date,know they will be more expensive that way but perhaps someone may buy the standard seats from you

to undate their Mustang to help out with the extra cost, just a thought scratchchin

Jim noticed your post on the super car forum about you will be putting your 360 on classifields soon,

Not sure i am meant to be doing this but i'm sure they will take this down if that's the case,

If they do perhaps you could leave your tel no with Mike Pullen and i can get it from him.

Could you email me through PH before you advertise it as i would be interested in buying it from you,

I know the spec,mileage and the colour ect from when i spoke to you last, it's just i've sold my F430 and will be

looking for something to replace it,either yank or Italian. Thanks John

I think all S550 production is drawing to a close by end of September.

The new S650 is being unveiled in Detroit on 14th September - that will be 2024MY, will likely go into build around March 2023, first UK deliveries early 2024.

Yep already asked for stick on front plates and to put the shipping labels in boot.Never got a straight answer on why the Recaro seat option was deleted they said it was never a UK option? .

I can't see why they wouldn't be an option on the more track-focussed Mach 1 when they were definitely available on the GT. In fact i sat in a 2022 Mach 1 in the showroom barely 8 weeks ago that had definitely recaros in them!

Surely more likely to be availability issues and the dealer just trying to cover?

Well the jet grey has recaro seats as a part of the appearance pack which is a £1400 option but the deleted option for these seats in any other colour is £2000?
